A gravimetric diluter, the BabyGravimat, has been developed to make microbiological sample dilutions directly in sterile BagFilter and Bagpage filter bags or sterile BagLight non-filter bags.
Microbiological analyses are becoming increasingly demanding.
Sample-taking, transport, diluting and blending are factors essential for the quality and reproducibility of the result.
Before analysis, each sample must go through several preparation steps including intake, dilution, blending and plating.
The dilution, then homogenisation phases allow extraction of all the bacteria from the sample and their suspension in the diluent.
The sterile bags made by Interscience - BagFilter, BagPage and BagLight - ensure complete hygiene throughout the homogenisation process.
BabyGravimat was designed in response to the increasing demand for precision in the quality process.
It was created to make microbiological sample dilutions directly in sterile BagFilter and Bagpage filter bags or sterile BagLight non-filter bags.
The operating principle is easy and efficient.
Controlled by a microprocessor, the BabyGravimat diluter consists of a weighing cell and a peristaltic pump for gravimetric dilution.
It will add a volume of diluent depending on the weight of the sample.
There is no further need for fastidious and precise sample weighing by the laboratory technician.
BabyGravimat automatically dilutes the solid sample with the appropriate weight of diluent, or dispenses the required amount of diluent.
With only two keys to press, BabyGravimat is simple and easy-to-use.
The dilutions are repeatable and reproducible, no matter the user, ensuring quality and security for the laboratory.
BabyGravimat's commands have been stripped down to the basics.
Only two keys to press to dilute quickly.
There is one function for dispensing, one scale and the possibility to install two pumps.
The calibration is automatically done by the technician and the BabyGravimat automatically memorises the weight of the sample.
The built-in scale is multifunctional.
With the option to connect to the laboratory information management system (Lims) or to a printer, the now indispensable traceability in the food-processing industry is guaranteed.
Compact and adjustable, BabyGravimat can be used with all kinds of bags or receptacles thanks to the adjustable arm.
Built to the ISO9001 V2000 and AFNOR V 08-010 standards, the new BabyGravimat will be a smart and economical choice for any laboratory.
