Italian term

ago pescante

Italian to English Science Biology (-tech,-chem,micro-) spore suspension lab tests
In instructions for fermentation in the lab: "Collegare uno dei due tubi della testata allestiti per le aggiunte dirette da bottiglia all'ago pescante del tappo di travaso e aprire il morsetto di chiusura del tubo"
Have managed to find images of it on google, but I don't know what to call it in EN!

I think it may be a fish hook needle - could anyone confirm this or suggest something else?

Proposed translations

aspirating needle

Declined
In realtà dipende dalla tipologia dell'ago (lungo, corto, curvo ecc.) ma in questo caso, non trattandosi di una descrizione troppo specialistica, direi che "aspirating needle" potrebbe andare bene.

Molto diverso da "Hagedorn needle" che è un ago curvo da sutura o da "hypodermic needle" usato per iniettare sostanze sotto alla cute.

sucking needle

Declined
I think this is the meaning, not a special term

To provide a protecting device for clearly showing that an injection needle or a sucking needle is already used and for surely preventing it from being used again.

under "technical specifications" on the above-posted link sucking needle is also called sampling needle.
Since your text is about "travaso" I thougth this could work.
I understand a needle for aspiration, "fish hook needle" is something different, unless you have a picture where it looks like a hook.
A needle for aspiration from a bottle should' be curved
