Automatic Spiral Plater
Product Details:
Introduction to spiral plating
Spiral plating is a widely accepted microbiological surface plating technique that was created in the 1970s to reduce the amount of Petri dishes used in surface spreads. Time-consuming serial dilutions required in conventional spread plating are avoided. A single spiral spreaded plate spares the inoculation of 3 Petri plates, drastically reducing operation times and materials.
This technique is based on the usage of an Archimedean spiral spread. Volumes poured along a spiral decrease exponentially so that a single plate hosts several sample concentrations distributed across the spiral. Once incubated, plates are read using a specific counting grid.Eddy Jet 2’s beak grabs a brand new sterile syringe. The syringe draws in a liquid sample.As the agar plate spins, the syringe automatically dispenses accurate volumes of sample over the plate drawing a spiral with the loaded sample Eddy Jet 2 gets rid of the sample-contaminated syringe.
 
·         Eddy Jet 2 as a leading edge spiral plater
Eddy Jet 2 is an unmatched spiral plater that pushes the outstanding standards of the first EDDY JET even further by adding trendsetting innovations to spiral plating:
• Its state of the art connectivity (featuring an Ethernet connection , 2xUSB ports and 2xRS-232ports): allow for connection to:
- a printer: that can print labels and records of the inoculations performed 
- a barcode reader: that allows for plate traceability
• EJ2’s streamlined intuitive software is commanded from a color touch panel
• IUL also improved spread times in this device.
EJ2 stands out as the spiral plater with the widest range of spiral distributions: it can make up to 22 different spiral distributions.
