Integra launches new option for Mediajet system

Published: 4-Oct-2006


Integra Biosciences has launched Tubefiller - a product that further expands the versatility of its internationally popular Mediajet media preparation system.

Aimed at every laboratory involved in culture media production, the Tubefiller option expands the functionality of Mediajet, as it allows conversion of the automated Petri dish pourer into a highly productive test tube filler in just a few minutes.

Tubefiller is designed to provide continuous processing of racks of test tubes. For 16mm tubes, filled each with 10ml of media, it takes less than 1 hour to fill 1000 tubes, Integra says. The unit accommodates a wide range of test tube diameters (13, 16, 20, 25 or 30mm) making it suitable for dispensing of liquids for a wide range of applications including production of agar slants, broth cultures and NaCl dilutions.

All functions on the Mediajet and Tubefiller are controlled with a large graphical user interface.

“For consistent culture quality, maintaining a clean environment during the dispensing process is essential”, Integra says. The surface of the Mediajet filling chamber is manufactured from a single piece of chemically resistant polyethylene facilitating convenient and efficient cleaning.
