Perfect Pouring

Product news

Scientific Laboratory Supplies, the Sales and Distribution partner for Integra Biosciences in the UK, are pleased to announce the arrival of MEDIAJET.

A next generation plate pouring system capable of automatically filling up to 540 Petri dishes at the push of a button. The first truly ‘trouble free walk away’ system on the market.

The compact MEDIAJET is easy to handle as all functions are controlled via a large graphical user interface and the operation of the system is completely self explanatory. Once the dish filling process has been started, the unit is designed to work reliably in the absence of the operator.

MEDIAJET provides all features necessary to support the individual needs required in quality control. All process relevant information can be documented using a standard label printer or by directly transferring the information to a personal computer.

The MEDIAJET has a unique ‘Agar Spread Function’ capability that provides the most efficient use of agar through ensuring homogeneous distribution and an even surface. By minimising the agar level in the Petri dish allows a significant reduction in media costs.

For consistent agar plate quality, maintaining a clean environment during the dispensing process is essential. The surface of the MEDIAJET filling chamber is manufactured from a single piece of chemically resistant polyethylene, facilitating convenient and efficient cleaning. A powerful UV lamp provides further optimal bactericidal efficiency over the full length of the rotor where the dishes are opened during the dispensing process.

Contact Scientific Laboratory Supplies, Integra’s UK Sales and Distribution Partner, and try one for yourself.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins. Find the best cell and tissue culture products, kits and equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Lab-on-a-ChipLab-on-a-chip (LOC) technology uses microfluidic chips, such as microarrays, to perform biochemical assays on a small scale. Benefits of lab-on-a-chip include the small volume of sample required as well as the speed of analysis. In selecting lab-on-a-chip devices consider the assay, cost, reliability, sensitivity and signal to noise ratio.
