IPLATER Automatic Plate Coater
Automated inoculation workstation for spreading and streaking liquid samples onto 90 mm plates, spiral or reciprocating, from standard 96-well source plates.
Automated spreading and streaking
IPLATER is an automated inoculation workstation for spreading and streaking liquid microbial samples onto plates. Its highly simplified software lets operators set up a spread or streak protocol quickly and conveniently, matched to the work at hand.
- Samples drawn from standard 96-well source plates
- Spiral spreading, reciprocating streaking or high-density streaking
- Barcode sample identification and UV chamber disinfection
