Interscience will showcase the Easyspiral fully automatic bacterial plater at two events: at Pittcon in Orlando, Florida, and at Analytica in Munich, Germany.
Easyspiral provides standardised plating with a sensitivity from 30 to 10 million colony-forming units per ml (CFU/ml) on only one Petri dish without preliminary dilutions for higher laboratory capacities.
Delivering a fast cycle time, Easyspiral features a rotating-arm architecture and a patented disinfection system avoiding cross-contamination risks and offers the full traceability of operations.
The system delivers a fast automatic plating time (disinfection, sample taking and plating) of 25 seconds.
The rotating-arm architecture offers high-speed movements and simplified mechanics.
Easyspiral also features an auto disinfection system by overflow; USB-programmable plating volumes from 10 up to 1,000 microlitres and monitoring software with a traceability system; 75 per cent less consumables than the manual method; and time-saving AFNOR V08-100 standards.
Once the sample preparation is done, Petri dishes must be plated in order to carry out the microbiological analysis.
When at least three dilutions are necessary in the manual plating method, there is no need for dilutions with Easyspiral.
Easyspiral enables high-speed efficiency and repeatable results.
The patented disinfection system has an autonomy of 600 cleaning cycles and Easyspiral is equipped with security detections if disinfection liquid is missing.
The preset plating volumes are completed by the USB-programmable volumes from 10 up to 1,000 microlitres.
Data is exported via Excel and barcode for full traceability.
The Easyspiral automatic bacterial plater guarantees quick use in compliance with the Good Laboratory Practice (GLP).
No special training is necessary.
