| How
many plates can the system pour per hour? |
|
| What
is the Biotool systems pump delivery rate? |
|
| Will
I really be able to “walk away” during the
plate pouring process? |
|
| How
do I avoid contamination while the plates are open during
pouring? |
|
| Can
I connect the Biotool systems directly to a media preparator
/ agar cooker? |
|
| Can
I use any type of plates with the Biotool agar filler
systems? |
|
| I
often hand pour media that is uneven and with large
ripples. Will the Biotool systems produce more consistent
plates? |
|
| Can
I use the Biotool Systems without the Proficlave agar
cooker? |
|
| Can
I choose the height of the stack when loading the unit? |
| Can
I choose the height of the filled plates? |
| I
would like to buy the system but don’t have any
budget left this year, can you help? |
| Do
you offer loaner/rental units for evaluation? |

• The PS900 can pour
up to 1200 plates per hour • The PS900P
can pour up to 900 Plates per hour (including printing
and applying labels) • The Classic can pour
up to 900 plates per hour • The PS20 can
pour 20 plates in 2 minutes. (600/hr)
(*Depending on the volume of media deposited into each
plate.) |
| |
• PS900 – 600
ml/min • PS900P – 600 ml/min
• Classic – 600 ml/min • PS20
– 800 ml/min • DP1000 – 1000ml/min |

| The Biotool systems are truly
“walk away” plate pouring systems. There
are multiple sensors that detect if a plate is not present
or upside down and will not pour unless all conditions
are correct. When maintained well (cleaned) there is
very little operator intervention required during operation
of the systems. The plates are automatically stacked
at the required height (1 – 20) so the lab technician
does not have to manually move the poured plate. |
| |
| The plates are
opened under UV light during the pouring stage preventing
contamination during this process. The lab technician
is protected from the UV light by a protective cover
with safety switch that turns off the UV light when
the cover is open. |
| |
| Yes- the systems can be connected
to a media preparer such as the Proficlave PC10 to
insure that the agar remains at the proper dispensing
temperature, well stirred and sterile. |
| |
| The Biotool
system uses 90 – 100mm beveled (automation) plates.
We ask you to send one sleeve of your plates so we can
adjust the system prior to the delivery to your laboratory. |
| |
| The Biotool systems are equipped
with a dual head pump that eliminates air bubbles during
the dispensing of media, keeping it smooth. in addition,
the PS900 systems are equipped with an additional vibration
system to actively smooth the agar. These systems will
produce smooth and level plates. |
| |
| Yes, any of our systems can
draw media from a flask or any other container. The
Proficlave insures that the media is at the proper dispensing
temperature, properly mixed and sterile. |
| |
| Yes –
the system can accommodate any stack height from a single
plate up to 20 plates. |
| |
| Yes –
the systems let you choose any stack height from 1 to
20 (remember, lower stacks will cool faster due to smaller
heat residue). |
| |
