Versatile Culture Media Production

Integra Biosciences has announced Tubefiller a new option that further expands the versatility of its internationally popular Mediajet media preparation system. For every laboratory involved in culture media production, the Tubefiller option seamlessly 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 has been designed, at the push of a button, 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 1,000 tubes. Ergonomic in design, the Tubefiller 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. Offering a dosing variability of less than 1%, for volumes of 1 to 99ml / tube, the Tubefiller ensures consistent media tube filling.
