Are you looking for a good media preparator to prepare high-quality media for your plantlets, but without all premium features?
Lab Associates also offers the ‘LAB22’ media preparator models. The 50 and 70 liters machines are water-driven and have a cycle time of ca. 50-55 minutes, where the 100 and 150 liters machines are steam-driven and have a cycle time of ca. 55-60 minutes. The ‘LAB2’ media preparator models are highly durable and contain only quality components like sanitary valves.
It comes with a small PLC screen for process control and check temperature graphs (optional). There is no need to autoclave your dispensing tube separately. Thanks to the built-in steam generator the dispensing tube is automatically cleaned and sterilized by steam during the sterilization process. The dispensing program can therefore start immediately when the sterilized medium has reached the desired dispensing temperature.
Our media preparators are built according to the European guidelines (CE/PED) and based on more than 30 years of experience. The ‘LAB19’ media preparator is also available with other certificates (e.g. UL, ASME U-stamp) if required.
