LA-High-speed media dispenser
- Our fastest automatic media dispenser, processes 1,200-1,440 cups per hour for large-scale production
- Automates tedious manual tasks to drastically lower operator workload, daily batch bottlenecks, and human handling risks
- Designed exclusively for connection to the media preparator
- Flexible modular add-ons
The LA-High-speed media dispenser is the fastest automatic media dispenser in our range. With just one push of a button, a complete sterilized batch is fully automatically dispensed into culture vessels and closed by the machine. It is simple to operate and eliminates a significant amount of manual handling, making it the ideal system for large-scale production facilities.
Automated processing & efficiency
- Maximum throughput: Processes each vessel in just 2.5–3 seconds, delivering a massive output of 1,200 to 1,440 cups per hour
- Single-button operation: Dispenses and caps an entire media batch automatically with one simple command
- Constant production pace: Provides a steady and reliable speed to streamline your daily batches
- Industrial capacity: Specifically engineered to meet the heavy demands of high-volume plant tissue culture facilities
- Labor reduction: Automates the most repetitive parts of your production line to drastically lower manual workload and human error
Contamination control & cleanliness
- Walk-in laminar airflow cabinet: The entire filling and closing area is housed inside a laminar airflow environment to keep the workspace clean and contamination-free
System connectivity
- Media preparator connection: Designed to connect directly to your Lab Associates media preparator for a seamless, automated and fluid transfer
- No autoclave compatibility: Please note this system is built to link with LA media preparators and cannot be connected to an autoclave/mediaclave
Modular extensions & add-ons
- Robot tray picking module: Can be extended with a robotic module that automatically places trays of filled cups directly into trolley racks
- Inline printer: Prints batch information directly on the side of the vessels after filling, with optional alcohol-resistant ink
- Side table: Integrated additional working space on the left side of the dispenser for opening bags or handling materials
- Oil-free air compressor: Available with an included buffer tank if your laboratory's current air supply needs an extension
- Remote assistance: Features a remote VPN connection that allows for fast, direct technical service and troubleshooting
