Reliable Walk-Away Media Preparation & Processing

An informative new video from INTEGRA describes the operation and applications of its industry leading MEDIACLAVE Media Preparation and MEDIAJET Automated Petri Dish Filling systems.Hosted at www.mediajet.info the video demonstrates the true walk-away automation and plate traceability provided by the MEDIACLAVE and MEDIAJET. The extensive applications capabilities of the MEDIAJET is demonstrated through high throughput filling of Petri dishes of various sizes, Petri dishes with two compartments, test tubes and an integrated shaker function that provides a convenient solution for pour plate applications.

High quality media for the cultivation of bacteria is at the core of numerous medical and microbiological laboratory applications.  As a consequence, many downstream tasks and results directly depend on ensuring a reliable and efficient process for preparing high quality media.  The MEDIACLAVE product range enables laboratories to rapidly and reliably prepare 1-30 litres of high quality culture media, reducing labour costs and freeing staff to more productive tasks. Available in 10- and 30-litre configurations, the MEDIACLAVE is quick to set-up and operate due to an intuitive, multilingual user interface makes it easy for even untrained users to use the MEDIACLAVE productively. Uniquely the MEDIACLAVE is independently certified by TUV Product Services GmbH to be compliant to the UL 61010-1 and IEC 61010-1 international safety standards, thereby fulfilling even the most rigorous industry safety rules and regulations.

The excellent reliability and true automation provided by the MEDIAJET significantly reduces operational downtime and labour costs associated with traditional dish filling systems.  A unique media spread function provides the most efficient use of media through ensuring homogeneous distribution and an even surface.  Careful regulation of the media level in each Petri dish provides up to 30% savings on media use compared to some traditional systems.
