Fig. 9   Spiral Plater, Autoplate 4000

Function/capability:

  • A microprocessor-controlled spiral plater for bacterial and yeast enumeration, antimicrobial susceptibility testing and mutagenicity assays
  • Eight deposition modes are available for 100 and 150mm petri dishes
  • Up to five replicate plates can be prepared without aspirating additions sample
  • Fully automated cleaning and sampling cycles

Research projects (principal researcher) involved:

  • Oral rinse and plaque quantification
