- Description
- The USNPRC, PMPS plans to purchase a WASP Touch Spiral Plater from Microbiology International at 5350 Partners Ct., Frederick, MD 21703, USA. The unit will be used in the microbiology laboratory to enumerate bacteria in samples generated during research experiments. Bacterial enumeration using the spiral plater has been approved by the FDA. The spiral plater eliminates the need to prepare serial dilutions during enumeration of bacteria, thereby reducing time and labor required to process samples and providing cost savings by reducing the amount of dilution supplies required. Spiral plating also requires fewer plates than manual plating because different concentrations of samples are placed on each plate. The unit should have single keystroke touchscreen operation that loads the sample, inoculates the plate and cleans the stylus to optimize sample throughput speed. Additionally, also the unit should be able to take samples directly from beakers, bottles, or tubes then dispense samples onto the plates in volumes ranging from 10 µl to 400 µl. An automatic sanitizing system should be available to maintain correct liquid levels in sanitizing solutions. Exact quantities of sanitizing fluids should be dispensed automatically into sanitizer reservoirs to maintain optimum levels to provide fluid for over 900 wash cycles. The system should also have an illuminated, covered working area. The size of the unit should be approximately 420 mm X 465 mm X 298 mm to fit into available space in the laboratory.
