We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Petri Dishes",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Laboratorytalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Automatic colony counter offers innovations from
Quality Measurement Solutions, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Flash and Go is the new automatic colony counter from IUL instruments, supported and supplied by authorised distributor Quality Measurement Solutions".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Method satisfies all media preparation needs from
Integra Biosciences: "The compact Mediajet Petri dish filler provides truly reliable, walk-away operation using a proven mechanical dish guidance system, monitored by a set of sensors throughout the filling process".
In October 2007, we covered the news from Warner Instruments
concerning its DH-40i micro-incubation chamber
- take a look at Micro incubator is 'ideal' for imaging live cells
which says: "Warner Instruments has introduced the new DH-40i micro-incubation chamber which is designed for imaging live cells at the required temperature and atmospheric conditions".
Take a look also at the news release from Nikon UK, Incubator and inverted microscope in single unit,
as well as Petri dish filler suits beverage and water labs from Integra Biosciences,
and 21 Minimacs despatched to China from Don Whitley Scientific.
