Versatile
media preparator
The
new generation MediaClave nutrient media preparator and steriliser
from INTEGRA Biosciences sets a new benchmark for operational versatility.

Tried
and trusted in microbiology and clinical laboratories worldwide
the latest version of the MediaClave offers the perfect solution
for rapid, gentle and reproducible preparation of nutrient media.
Special temperature programming enables production of even highly
sensitive media. The media is subjected to the minimum of thermal
stress during the process. A new stirring unit ensures homogeneous
mixing. Special programs enable media containing growth components
and highly sensitive media such as blood and chocolate agar to be
prepared with reproducible quality.
In
addition, MediaClave can be quickly converted to a compact bench-top
autoclave. It is particularly suitable for the individual and economical
sterilisation of small volumes of media. The MediaClave is also
ideal for autoclaving glassware, instruments and other laboratory
material. MediaClave possesses all the safety features of a modern
vertical autoclave, including efficient rapid cooling and support
pressure. For temperature-sensitive media or for thermostatting
liquids - MediaClave may be used as an accurate water bath for the
temperature range 37 - 80°C.
The
new heating and cooling system on the Mediaclave is state-of-the-art.
The plate heating system incorporates an over-heating mechanism
that guarantees rapid and uniform heat distribution. The rapid cooling
facility is 95 % quicker than traditional self-cooling mechanisms.
A 4-stage safety program automatically monitors all pressure and
heating functions of MediaClave guaranteeing 100% operating safety.
Modern microprocessor technology (32-bit) ensures precise and reproducible
results with the new Pt-100 sensor providing precise monitoring
during the entire process. New intuitive menu driven software enables
all operational steps to be entered using only 4 keys on the LCD
screen. MediaClave comes with integrated printer which can be connected
to a PC via RS 232 interface documenting all MediaClave program
steps. As well as offering many new features the MediaClave is CE
certified as safe and corresponds to the UL standard.
