Spiral plater aids fast and accurate bacterial enumeration in food, pharmaceutical and clinical microbiology laboratories
Available from exclusive UK distributor Fred Baker Scientific, IUL Instruments's automated Eddy Jet spiral plater aids fast and accurate bacterial enumeration in food, pharmaceutical and clinical microbiology laboratories.
Fully programmable and with an accuracy of <1%, the Eddy Jet uses a patented gamma-irradiated disposable micro-syringe for each new sample, eliminating cross-contamination and the need for a vacuum source or washing steps.
As samples are held within the disposable micro-syringe throughout the process, the risk of carryover of sanitising chemicals such as hypochlorite is eliminated.
The tips are supplied with fully traceable quality control documentation. Significant savings can be made in material costs and workers' time by using the Eddy Jet.
The dilution effect of the spiral plating process allows bacterial suspensions of between 4102 and 4105cfu/ml to be counted accurately and reliably on one 10cm diameter petri dish.
A comprehensive range consisting of 19 deposition profile programmes is stored and delivered by the machine's sophisticated processor.
The range of IUL Instruments' automated food microbiology products also includes innovative high quality products for gravimetric dilution, sample homogenising, automated colony counting and data archiving, and offers superb value for money.
The equipment is supported throughout the UK by Fred Baker Scientific's factory-trained service department, which is UKAS-accredited for the calibration of media preparators, autoclaves and air samplers.
Accredited to ISO9001 for the design, production and supply of laboratory equipment and consumables, the company has also become certified to the Pharmaceutical Suppliers Code of Practice (raw materials and excipients) for the supply of culture media to the pharmaceutical industry.
