Launched recently at Analytica, the WASP Touch is a new spiral plater, designed for the needs of modern microbiology laboratories. This is a fundamentally different plater with no need for a separate vacuum source. The system is simple to use and provides real cost savings and process improvements.

WASP Touch features:

• Touchscreen operation
• New automatic sanitising system automatically maintains correct liquid levels in sanitising solutions – patent pending
• Illuminated, covered working area.

Automated Intelligent Monitoring Software (AIMS) guides users through set-up and daily check routines to ensure consistent, trouble-free plating. Sample 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 fluids are dispensed automatically to maintain optimum levels. This ensures effective and efficient sanitisation takes place. Sanitising system reservoirs contain sufficient fluid for over 900 wash cycles.

A space-saving feature is the fully integrated vacuum waste system.

Robust, reliable and easy to service, WASP Touch eliminates serial dilutions and produces perfect plates.
