Gentle
& Rapid Preparation of Standard & Highly Sensitive Nutrient
Media.
Available
from INTEGRA Biosciences the MediaClave nutrient media preparator
and steriliser guarantees the gentle and rapid preparation of standard
and highly sensitive nutrient media for medical and microbiological
laboratories.
MediaClave
gently heats nutrient media in the stainless steel vessel until
the sterilisation temperature is reached. The new stirring mechanism
produces homogenous mixtures at speeds of 75 or 150 rpm. The media
is then rapidly cooled for dispensing by a water-cooled jacket coupled
with a support pressure compressor. This prevents delayed boiling
during the cool-down phase. The system is 95% faster than self-cooling
models. A 4-Stage safety program automatically monitors all pressure
& heating functions.
MediaClave
comes with a 32-bit microprocessor to guarantee precise and accurate
results. A menu controlled graphic LCD can be used to enter custom
programs, display the sterilisation profile or help you with an
error report that might need investigation. Even complicated media
such as blood and chocolate agar can be produced automatically with
MediaClave. The integrated printer documents all of the sterilisation
steps and can be connected to a PC via an RS-232 interface. MediaClave
incorporates an automatic self-cleaning cycle program, and the stainless
steel vessel can easily be removed for additional cleaning. The
unit also features a data port so the service technician can troubleshoot
the machine via a remote PC.
The
MediaClave can be used for the manual filling of nutrient media
or used in conjunction with automatic petri-dish filler such as
INTEGRA's Tecnomat modular filling system.
