Installation of a Mediajet/Mediaclave has reduced downtime and costs at Deltamune by providing a highly productive alternative to the tedious and time consuming task of manual media preparation

Integra Biosciences has chosen Analytica 2008 as the venue to preview two exciting new products.
The new stirring mechanism produces homogenous mixtures at speeds of 75 or 150rpm.
The media is then rapidly cooled for dispensing by a water-cooled jacket coupled with a support pressure compressor.
This prevents delayed boiling during the cool-down phase.
The system is 95% faster than self-cooling models.
A four-stage safety programme automatically monitors all pressure and heating functions.
MediaClave comes with a 32-bit microprocessor to guarantee precise and accurate results.
A menu controlled graphic LCD can be used to enter custom programs, display the sterilisation profile or help you with an error report that might need investigation.
Even complicated media such as blood and chocolate agar can be produced automatically with MediaClave.
The integrated printer documents all of the sterilisation steps and can be connected to a PC via an RS-232 interface.
MediaClave incorporates an automatic self-cleaning cycle program, and the stainless steel vessel can easily be removed for additional cleaning.
The unit also features a data port so the service technician can troubleshoot the machine via a remote PC.
The MediaClave can be used for the manual filling of nutrient media or used in conjunction with automatic petri-dish filler such as Integra's Tecnomat modular filling system. Request a free brochure from Integra Biosciences ...
