How many plates can the system pour per hour*?
• 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.)
What is the Biotool systems pump delivery rate?
• PS900 – 600 ml/min
• PS900P – 600 ml/min
• Classic – 600 ml/min
• PS20 – 800 ml/min
• DP1000 – 1000ml/min
Will I really be able to “walk away” during the plate pouring process?
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.
How do I avoid contamination while the plates are open during pouring?
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.
Can I connect the Biotool systems directly to a media preparer / agar cooker?
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.
Can I use any type of plates with the Biotool agar filler systems?
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.
I often hand pour media that is uneven and with large ripples. Will the Biotool systems produce more consistent plates?
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.
Can I use the Biotool Systems without the Proficlave agar cooker?
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.
Can I choose the height of the stack when loading the unit?
Yes – the system can accommodate any stack height from a single plate up to 20 plates.
Can I choose the height of the filled 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).
I would like to buy the system but don’t have any budget left this year, can you help?
Yes, we offer a wide range of leasing program for small monthly installments,                                                   call our Toll Free number 1-888-810-5179 for more information and lease programs.
Do you offer loaner/rental units for evaluation?
Yes, most units are offered a rent/lease for short periods of time for evaluation purposes based on availability. Call our Toll Free number 1-888-810-5179 for more information and lease programs.
