WORKFLOW: INITIAL DILUTIONS
• The Smart Dilutor automates gravimetric dilutions.
•Within seconds it weighs a sample and dilutes it according to its weight.
•Additionally, it can accurately dispense set liquid volumes.
SMART DILUTOR W

WORKFLOW: INITIAL DILUTIONS
• The Pinch Dilutor automates gravimetric dilutions.
•Within seconds it weighs a sample and dilutes it according to its weight.
•Initially developed for ready to use media bags, nowadays it can also be used with an adapter for regular bottles.
•This budget-friendly instrument profits from gravity to dispense liquids.

SPIN AIR
•Spin technology: Petri plate rotation allows to use 100% of the Petri plate surface to grow sampled microorganisms allowing to detect high concentrations of microorganisms accurately.
•Connectivity allows to:
-Print records
-Connect to a slave unit to duplicate sampling
-Identify Petri plates through barcode labels
-Data transfer to a computer
