The traditional solid culture media preparation requires steps such as ingredients, dissolution, pH correction, sterilization, and dispensing. Manual dispensing takes longer time, and the labor cost is high, which is easy to cause uneven dispensing, large error, easy to solidify in the dispensing process. At the same time, the dispensing process is easy to be affected by the individual differences of the operator, affecting the experimental results.

Is there any equipment that can replace the traditional manual preparation and dispensing of culture media?

An efficient culture medium preparation process is very important, not only to reduce laboratory labor costs, but also to free researchers from boring and repetitive work. The fully automatic culture medium preparation instrument can quickly prepare high-quality culture media. It can quickly and gently sterilize culture media, and accurately monitor and control parameters such as time, temperature, and pressure during the sterilization process. Its intuitive interface and programmable functions allow users to operate it conveniently.

Modern laboratories have increasingly higher requirements for culture medium dispensing. Laboratories need more stable and reliable continuous automation systems, and they are increasingly focusing on saving various costs, including time and labor management costs. The fully automated culture medium dispensing system with both automatic working mode and high-standard quality requirements.

INNOVA can provide a fully automatic culture medium preparation and dispensing system. 

The automatic culture medium preparation has culture medium preparation and sterilization functions. The automatic dispensing device has a high degree of automation, high dispensing accuracy, and is easy to operate. It can achieve efficient mass dispensing and reduce labor costs and dispensing errors.
