A hockey stick is used when spreading bacteria over a solid medium. The bacteria is deposited via micropipette, then the aseptic technique is applied to a bent glass rod called a hockey stick to rid it of pre-existing bacteria. The hockey stick is touched to the medium to lower its temperature, then lightly pulled through the bacteria until it covers the medium in a thin layer.
