F.A.Q

What is a gravimetric dilution?
A gravimetric dilution is a dilution calculated with the weight of a sample (for example: a 25 g sample diluted at 1/10 must weigh 250 g at the end of the dilution. The dilutor adds 225 g of diluent). This allows for an ultra-precise and rapid dilution because the sample is weighed during the distribution of liquid. This is an important step in the microbiological analysis because it is essential to dilute a sample before blending and analyzing it.

What are BabyGravimat^®’s features?
BabyGravimat^® is a user-friendly, easy-to-use yet powerful gravimetric dilutor. You can dilute and distribute at the touch of only two buttons. Thanks to its adjustable arm, which allows for using two diluents at the same time, you can use any container you want.

What are BabyGravimat^®’s advantages?
BabyGravimat^® is compact, reliable, powerful and user-friendly

What are the application areas of BabyGravimat^®?
BabyGravimat^® is widely used in food microbiology, pharmaceutical, medical and environmental analysis.

What is BabyGravimat^®’s accuracy?
For a sample weight larger than 1 g, it is less than 0.1 g of the sample weighing and more than 99% of the distibuted diluent mass. For liquid distribution, accuracy is 0.1 g.

How long does it take to perform a dilution with BabyGravimat^® ?
It is really quick: less than 20 seconds for 250 ml.

Can I connect two diluents simultaneously?
Yes. Thanks to the two pumps, you can connect two diluents simultaneously. You can also use broth bags with the optionnal stand.

Is traceability ensured?
Yes. BabyGravimat^® has a RS 232 port to connect an optionnal printer it can also be connected to a LIMS system. Printed data are: pump selection, accuracy, sample weight, total weight and the dilution or distribution factor.

Is it easy to clean?
Yes. BabyGravimat^® is stainless steel to make cleaning easier, and all the electronic parts are protected.

What is delivered with BabyGravimat^®?
BabyGravimat^® comes with one or two pumps, 2 tubings per pump and a sterile pack of BagFilter^® filter bags.

Does BabyGravimat^® 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.
