easySpiral Dilute Automatic Diluter and Plater

easySpiral Dilute is an automatic diluter and plater of Petri dishes. It allows 1/10^th serial dilutions and plating up to 6 log. dilution on 1 single Petri dish. For a sample of 30 to 1 x 10¹² bacteria, no more manual dilutions and plating is automatic.

• Automatic cycle of 5 successive dilutions at 1/10^th
• 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!

You no longer need to prepare 9 mL tubes, easySpiral Dilute automatizes serial dilutions to 10^-5 or more. PATENTED

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

easySpiral Dilute saves you 50% in consumables and 50% in time. 134 seconds for plating (1 disinfection + 5 dilutions + 1 plating of a dilution).

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 90 and 150 mm Petri dishes. Choose from 3 plating modes: exponential, constant and circle.

Exponential mode:

The exponential mode is a 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 10⁷ 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.

Great savings on Petri dishes!

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.
You can plate 50 µL, 100 µL, 200 µL or program your personalized volume.

Colony counting is easier in 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. A 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.

Compact and ergonomic

Simple and secure connections

Long autonomy

USB programmable volume

Applications

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