Inspissator

Product Details :

The Grant inspissator is a convenient and effective system designed to produce large batches of uniform tuberculosis culture medium four to six times per day. Vessels containing culture medium are incubated on a shallow tray which is in contact with water held at a constant temperature of 85 ºC within a tank, so ensuring that the temperature of the vessels is constant. Inspissation takes 50 minutes at 85ºC.

The Grant Inpissator was designed in conjunction with the Post Graduate Medical School at London University and is used in most tuberculosis laboratories assisted by the World Health Organisation.

• Robust durable design, with digital temperature control
• Standard temperature: 85ºC; operating temperature range ambient + 5 to 100ºC
• Capacity for up to 156 test tubes (Ø16mm diameter x 150mm long) or 162 universal containers

Features : Robust and durable construction - the tray, tank and robust outer case are made of polished stainless steel. Water temperature under the tray is controlled by a digital immersion thermostat for accuracy and reproducibility of set temperature. All moving parts are incorporated in the control unit which is easily removed for servicing. A constant level device ensures that water level remains constant despite evaporation losses. Batches of tubes are quickly and easily set out and collected from the tray, so ensuring rapid turnover time for batches.
