Automatic dilutor and plater
Plater and Dilution Features
easySpiral Dilute is an automatic diluter and plater of Petri dishes. It allows 1/10th serial dilutions and plating up to 6 log. Dilution on 1 single Petri dish. For a sample of 30 to 1 x 1012 bacteria, no more manual dilutions and plating is automatic.
- Automatic cycle of 5 successive dilutions at 1/10th
- Plating modes: exponential (Plate 50 µL, 100 µL, 200 µL or program a customizable volume), constant (Plate 50 µL, 100 µL, 200 µL or program a customizable volume), circle (3 or 6 dilutions on 1 petri dish), pour plate
- Counting range: from 30 to 1×1012 CFU/mL
- Plating cycle time: 134 seconds (disinfection + 5 dilutions + 1 plating of a dilution)
- Easy serial dilutions: Place the sample (choose your dilution factor: from 10-1 to10-5), Dilute automatically (automatic dilution of sample up to 5 times) or Plate automatically (easySpiral Dilute plates a sample on 1 Petri dish from 30 to 1×1012 CFU/mL)
- 50% time-saving and consumable savings
- USB programmable volume
