Automatic dilutor and plater

EasySpiral Dilute is an automatic diluter and plater of Petri dishes

It allows 1/10th serial dilutions and plating up to 6 log. dilution on 1 single Petri dish. For a sample of 30 to 1 x 1012 bacteria,  manual dilutions are no longer available and plating is automatic.

The automatic cycle of 5 successive dilutions at 1/10th

Plating modes: exponential, constant, circle, pour plate

Counting range : from 30 to 1x1012 CFU/mL

Plating cycle time: 134 seconds

A revolution for your serial dilutions!

Place the sample

Place your sample in a beaker and choose your dilution factor : from 10-1 to 10-5

Dilute automatically

easySpiral Dilute automatically dilutes the sample up to 5 times.

Plate automatically

easySpiral Dilute plates a sample on 1 Petri dish from 30 to 1x1012 CFU/mL

The Spiral method

With the Spiral method, increase your analysis capabilities : without intermediate dilutions, perform standardized automatic plating with a counting range from 100 to 1 x 107 CFU/mL on 1 single Petri dish !

50% time-saving and consumables savings easy spiral

Dilute saves you 50% in consumables and 50% in time. 134 seconds for plating (1 disinfection + 5 dilutions + 1 plating of a dilution). For example on 50 samples with a 10-7 dilution and a 10-5, 10-6 and 10-7 plating

One touch plating

Plate easily and quickly your 55, 90 and 150 mm Petri dishes. Choose from 4 plating modes: exponential, constant, circle and pour.

Exponential mode

The exponential mode is plating in surface with a decreasing surface concentration. Plate 50 µL, 100 µL, 200 µL or program a customizable volume. Obtain a countable Petri dish from 100 to 1 x 1012 CFU/mL

Constant mode

The constant mode is a homogenous surface deposition plating. Plate 50 µL, 100 µL, 200 µL or program a customizable volume. Colony counting is then easy because there are no colonies on the edges of the Petri dish.

Circle mode

The circle mode is plating 3 or 6 dilutions in surface on 1 Petri dish. The volumes are 10 µL for the inner circle, 16 µL for the middle circle and 25 µL for the outer circle.

Pour mode

The pour mode is a homogeneous deposition in pour plate mode. EasySpiral Dilute deposits one sample drop at the bottom of an empty Petri dish. Then the user adds the molten agar on top and homogenizes it with the sample. Plate 50 µL, 100 µL, 200 µL 3 or 6 dilutions. Colony counting is easier in the case of invasive colonies. Pharmacopea compliant.

High accuracy glass syringe

Typical accuracy of glass syringe is 0.5 %. Higher accuracy than an ordinary pipette and no more pipet calibration.

Automatic disinfection

Overflow technology cleaning system and stylus disinfection. Light is activated in case of empty disinfecting liquid. PATENTED

High-speed automation

The fast rotating arm adapts itself to all types of agar without risks of ploughing. It makes it possible to obtain a plating in 134 seconds (disinfection + 5 dilutions + 1 plating of a dilution) PATENTED

Traceability ensured with dataLink

All the sample data, from plating (volume, dilution, plating mode ...) to automatic colony counting (lighting settings) are set on the Datamatrix label.

Applications

EasySpiral Dilute platers are used for all types of microbiological analyses in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and public research institutes ...
