F.A.Q

What is automatic plating ?
When sample preparation is over, Petri dishes are plated to perform the microbiological analysis. easySpiral^® is an automatic plater that allow to have all the successive dilution on one Petri dish, avoiding all the tedious stages of dilutions and successive incubations of the manual method.

What is Spiral^® automatic plating ?
All dilutions required for plating are made on a single Petri dish. The sample is deposited by a dosing micropump of precision, dosing accurately on the surface of a petri dish in rotation, according to a logarithmically decreasing Archimedes spiral, from the center of the dish to its periphery. According to the adjustments, the plating equals 3 or 4 dilutons from the manual method. The volume is calibrated and known in every point of the dish. After incubation, colonies appear on the spiral layout of the deposited sample. The reading is done by reporting the number of colonies counted in the chosen area to volume deposited in the same area. Counting can be either manual, using a calibrated grid, or automatical by using a colony counter (as Scan^®).

What are Spiral^®’s advantages ?
They are numerous.
It is a repeatable and reproducible method that performs all the dilutions on one Petri dish (compared to the three -minimum- that are necessary with the manual method).
The sensitivity goes from 300 to 130 000 CFU / ml on a Petri dish without prior to sample dilution (4 Petri dishes are needed in the manual method).
It is a 100% automatic method (intaking, plating, disinfection and cleaning) which makes these operations economical in consumables, time and space, and ecological.
No cross-contamination, regularity and standardization, it is a time and consumables saving process.

How long does it take to plate a sample with easySpiral^® ?
The full cycle is done in 25 seconds, the fastest on the market!

Is it easy to clean ?
Yes, easySpiral^® is all stainless steel and easy to clean.

What is delivered with easySpiral^®?
easySpiral^® is delivered with 1000 sterile beakers, 1 blue dye for testing, 1 liquid detergent, 3 sets of connectors for autoclave, GL45 bottles, 90 mm Spiral counting grid, container stand for testing, power cable, user manual

Does easySpiral^® require a lot of maintenance ?
No, it’s a device that requires only little maintenance because it is robust and stainless steel.Thanks to its design, the circuit board is protected from liquid projections.
