Automatic Platers
A revolution for your serial dilutions!
With easySpiral automatic platers and the Spiral method, increase your analyses capabilities while reducing sample processing time.
Choose from 4 models:
easySpiral Pro Automatic plater
easySpiral Pro Milk Automatic plater
easySpiral Dilute Automatic dilutor and plater
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 × 107 CFU/mL on 1 single Petri dish!
Consumables: savings up to 75%
The exponential plating mode with easySpiral reduces your consumable budget and waste volumes. You will enjoy more space in your lab too! The easySpiral plater has no specific consumable needs.
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 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 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. 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 syringeTypical accuracy of glass syringe is 0.5 %. |

Automatic disinfectionOverflow technology cleaning system and stylus disinfection. A light is activated in case of empty disinfecting liquid. |
 |
High speed automationThe 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). |
