UNIVERSAL PLATE POURER INNOVATIVE DESIGN

Handles variety of media plates

The pourer can process Petri dishes in three standard sizes: 60 mm, 90/100 mm and 150 mm, as well as ANSI/SBS (128×86 mm rectangular) and 100/120 mm square plates.

It will accommodate wide variations in size and style within each format. There is no need to use plates from specific suppliers, or to adjust the pourer in any

way.

Precise dispensing

With angled nozzle outlet and precise positioning of the nozzle tip, the media is dispensed quickly and without bubbles, regardless of media type used.

The pump calibration feature and the available low-pulsation media tube, allow dispensing precise volumes of media at high flow rates.

Prevents contamination

The plates are opened and the media is dispensed inside the fully enclosed cabinet. The germicidal UV lamp inside the cabinet can be turned on before, after, and/or during the pouring run.

The cabinet’s tub-shaped bottom will contain any spills. With smooth, rounded walls and instantly removable plate racks, the cabinet is easy to clean and decontaminate.

Easy to operate

When a new pouring run is started, the instrument will automatically identify the plate type, and will select the correct parameters: the pouring volume and speed, nozzle location for dispensing, and UV settings. It will then proceed to fill the entire batch of loaded plates.

The graphical user interface with touch-screen is simple and intuitive. It provides easy access to all controls and user-adjustable parameters. Step-by-step on-screen instructions are available for new users.

Reliable

Optical and tactile sensors on the plate grippers work together to identify and locate the plates, and to detect any abnormal situations, such as misplaced or broken plates.

Non-contact sensing of liquid in the media tube prevents spoiled plates by detecting air bubbles before they can reach the plates.

User-friendly design

The plate pourer is compact and weighs only 24 kg – less than one-half of a carousel-style pourers’ weight.

The cabinet has leveling feet and built-in level indicators to help maintain uniform thickness of liquid media in plates.

The pourer runs on less than 50 W of electricity. With small external power supply, the low-voltage instrument is inherently safe to use.
