Definitive plating instrument that uses disposable microsyringes for the spiral inoculation technique. Distributes the liquid sample on the agar in an exponential or logarithmic decreasing manner from the center to the periphery.
Once incubated, the Petri plate shows a distribution of colonies smaller and more crowded in the center, and larger and more separated toward the periphery.
Counting colonies can be done automatically (see Countermat Flash) or manually, using the appropriate grid.
By using disposable sample delivery syringes, the Eddy Jet has revolutionized the spiral plating technique. It has eliminated both the possible sample cross contamination that can occur in other devices and the need to rinse the system between samples. The microsyringes and beakers are irradiated with gamma rays and remain closed until use.
Features and Benefits:
- No risk of cross contamination with world wide patented microsyringes
- No downtime required for disinfection
- Direct and quick transition from validated existing outdated equipment, with pre-programmed spreading patterns
- Assuring high precision by monitoring all 6 zones of spreading on the plate
What's unique.
Disposable Micro-syringe: World wide patented system to forever eliminate the mistrust in the classical spiral spreading instruments. Each sample remains during the whole process inside the disposable microsyringe.
Immediate replacement: The EDDY JET contains all the spreading programs used in the past. It can substitute immediately any old model of spiral platters.
Verifying capability: All the spiral spreadings can be checked at any time using a laboratory balance. The volume can be confirmed in the six different zones.
