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.

Is it an official method?
Yes, it is validated by A.O.A.C (American Organization of Anlysis Control) and AFNOR (Association Française de Normalisation), V 08-100 standard. It became one of the official methods for food and cosmetics applications. The Spiral®method quickly became a reference for food microbiology applications, bactericidal, medical and cosmetical researches. It has been validated by many private analytical laboratories, veterinary laboratories and international industrial groups.

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 30 to 10 million CFU / ml on a Petri dish without prior to sample dilution (4 Petri dishes are needed in the manual method).
It is an 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.

When was the Spiral^® method invented ?
The Spiral^® method invented in 1973 when Dr Ed Campbell, a researcher at the FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) designed a method to automatize the routine work of the bacterial enumeration. With François Jalenques, physicist and founder of INTERSCIENCE, they developped this innovative process. The Spiral® method was updated and patented in 1992. Today Spiral^® automatic platers guarantee quick and safer ananlyses.

What is delivered with easySpiral^® ?
easySpiral^® is delivered with 1000 sterile beakers, 1 blue dye for tests, 1 detergent liquid, 3 sets of GL 45 autoclavable bottle connectors, spiral counting grids: 90 mm & 150 mm, test container stand, power cord, user’s manual, 150 mm Petri dish ring, monitoring CD-ROM software, USB cable

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.
