Simple spiral plating

Launched recently, WASP Touch is a spiral plater designed for the needs of modern microbiology laboratories. With no need for a separate vacuum source, the system is simple to use and provides real cost savings and process improvements. The WASP Touch features touchscreen operation, an automatic sanitising system that maintains correct liquid levels in sanitising solutions, and an illuminated, covered working area.

Automated Intelligent Monitoring Software (AIMS) guides users through set-up and daily check routines to ensure consistent, trouble-free plating. Samples may be aspirated from beakers, bottles and tubes, providing maximum flexibility in use. The system incorporates a powerful diagnostic tool that automatically logs date, time, deposition, user name and number of plates produced.

Precise quantities of sanitising fluid are dispensed automatically to maintain optimum levels, which ensures that effective and efficient sanitisation takes place. In addition, a space-saving feature is the fully integrated vacuum waste system.
