C. Elegans Worm Pick and Platinum Wire

The Wormstuff® Worm Pick

Platinum Wire

Genesee’s premium-grade platinum wire is a dense, malleable precious heavy metal that exhibits remarkable resistance to corrosion, even at high temperatures. Our wires are sold in two thicknesses to ensure that your worm pick features a platinum wire tip that is just right for you. All bulk platinum wire is supplied carefully wound to an oversized spool for easy access and wire cutting.
99.95% pure platinum wire is exceptionally pure and malleable for easier flattening and a softer pick tip.
90/10% platinum/iridium alloy features a stiffer and sturdier feel compared to pure platinum.
Gauge refers to diameter, a higher gauge being a thinner wire and vice versa.
Bulk platinum wire is available for making homemade worm picks; not compatible with the WormStuff Worm Pick.
