Eddy Jet 2W - Spiral Plater

Description

The spiral plating method enables the automatic and standardized sample plating and allows up to 3 dilution series on one Petri dish. The sample is plated in a form of an increasingly dilute spiral (outwards from the center). The volume is calibrated and known at every point of the Petri dish. It is a vast improvement in speed and accuracy over manual methods. The Eddy Jet 2W Spiral Plater, advances this automated technology even further.

The Eddy Jet 2W Spiral Plating System is a large color screen touch screen fully programmable spiral inoculation instrument with accuracy and reproducibility of greater than 99%. The Eddy Jet 2W Spiral Plater uses a unique gamma-irradiated disposable micro-syringe for each new sample, eliminating cross-contamination and the need for a vacuum source or washing steps.

Since the samples come in contact only with the disposable low cost micro-syringe throughout the process, there is absolutely no risk of carryover of sanitizing chemicals, such as hypochlorite.

The tips are supplied with fully traceable quality control documentation. These sterile, precise micro-syringes (with opening size of 0.7mm) are your keys to confidence that you’ll get an accurate inoculation and no contamination on every plate that you process with the Eddy Jet 2W Spiral Plater.

Significant savings can be made in material costs and workers' time by using the Eddy Jet 2W Spiral Plater. Plates are processed in well under 1 minute; no time consuming washing cycle; no time consuming preparation and replacement of washing chemical solutions; no time consuming maintenance of a vacuum pumping system; no down time due to vacuum failure.

Check how Spiral plates can be counted using Manual colony counter or automatic colony counter - The SphereFlash® - The SphereFlash® counts the majority of colonies on the various media. Its high-resolution color camera can detect and count colonies of approx. 1/450 inch (0.07mm). The new patented illumination device enables processing of any media type, including transparent/opaque agar without interference from ambient light source as the sphere goes down and creates an isolated environment. The SphereFlash® automated colony counter modular approach enables laboratories to automate their colony counting processes, inhibition zone measuring, and upgrade them to a higher level of sophistication as necessary, within a budget.

Among the Eddy Jet 2W many efficiencies include: reduced costs per test, less hands on time, and consumable use during counts all while increasing the microbiology lab’s productivity. This state-of-the-art spiral plater automates, standardizes, and streamlines plate inoculations due to its patented cross-contamination-free technology. Microsyringes provide the system with unique, unmatched advantages that make it a very popular laboratory device. This is partly due to the spiral plater’s ease of use. The user interface is very intuitive and there are no setup times. Unbox and set up your Eddy Jet 2W and it is ready to go!

Primarily in use by the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries in their research and development labs, any microbiology lab can greatly benefit from using the Eddy Jet 2W. This superior spiral plating device will generate a threefold dilution concentration gradient on a single plate. This allows labs to skip serial dilutions and most platings. To achieve the greatest accuracy, each sample is processed with a brand new sterile microsyringe, thereby making sample handling a cross-contamination-free process.

A capsule summary of improvements to spiral plating procedures using The SphereFlash® include:

YES:

• Highest precision & accuracy: Results are more than 99% accurate
• High confidence in results: Provides highly accurate counts, minimizes/eliminates contamination, increases efficiency.
• Programmable: Enables laboratory personnel to multi-task thereby creating more efficient operative workflow.
• Very dependable: Increases reproducibility and greater overall cost savings.
• Preprogrammed modes: Contribute to greater operational efficiencies.
• Extremely easy to use: No learning curve - user interface is very intuitive and there are no setup times. Moreover produces high quality, easy to read/interpret plates. Combines ease of use and process innovations that offer measurable time and cost savings.

NO:

• Wash cycles: Unique feature eliminates need for washing steps.
• Concerns about carryover: Disposable micro-syringe prevents carryover contamination from sanitizing materials.
• Chemical/bleach solutions: Eliminates need for daily bleach solutions.
• Noisy vacuum pump: Does not utilize a vacuum pump.
• Vacuum failure downtime: Unique micro-syringe eliminates both cross-contamination and the need for a vacuum source.
