The Lab Associates research media preparator is the smaller siblings of our flagship media preparators. It is designed for research, protocol development and smaller production activities. This machine will allow both smaller and larger sized customers to make smaller media batches, with a machine that assures a very high quality media. Available in 20 and 30 L capacity.
Features:
- Available in 20 and 30 liters
- Extremely low maintenance and high durability
- Built-in steam generator
- Magnetic stirring mechanism (no mechanical seal)
- Stainless steel compressed air valves instead of magnetic valves
- All critical parts are made of stainless steel 316L and are completely sanitary
- Constant overpressure to prevent contamination on the inside
- Only high-quality certified parts are used
- The inside of the vessel is made of high polished stainless steel 316L (easy to clean)
- Built according to the European machine guidelines
- Available with required certificates (e.g. CE, PED)
Add-on options for the Research model:
- Oil-free air compressor for compressed air (instead of using house air)
- Semi-automated dispensing unit with optical cell
- Semi-automated or automated dispensing system for tubes and conicals
- Well-dimensioned water systems (demi-water and/or reversed osmosis systems)
- No-break power supply/UPS
- Ethernet or Wi-Fi router for computer/tablet/smartphone interaction
- (This could be used for manually saving batch/process data)
