Media Preparation
MediaJet
Features
Highest capacity in minimal space! MediaJet is a compact, automated Petri dish filler that requires only minimal bench space in the laboratory. It is characterized by its ease-of-use, as all functions can be controlled over the graphical interface. Once the dish filling process has been started, the unit is designed to work reliably in the absence of the operator. The MediaJet can pour an impressive 900 Petri dishes/hour, utilizing either a 360 plate or 540 plate carousel option. The MEDIAJET links directly to the MEDIACLAVE agar preparator, or for larger batches, would work great with any of our larger media preparation systems. The MediaJet is unique in the fact that it can pour any depth dish ranging in height from 14-25 mm.

All functions of the MediaJet can be conveniently controlled over the large graphical user interface. The operation of the system is completely self-explanatory, as all functions are explained in a clear manner, essentially eliminating the use of manual.

|
|
MediaJet performs reliably and independently when pouring batches. The well placed sensors ensure the smooth mechanical guidance of the plates throughout the system, constantly sending feedback information to the machines safety mechanisms. Truly making this instrument a walk away system, providing reassurance that variation in dish diameter, size and lid or base rims will not affect this machines performance. The peristaltic pump can be used independently for filling of tubes, bottles or other vessels with calibrated delivery volume. |
 |
|
| To allow convenient and efficient cleaning to take place, the surface of the transfer/filling area is manufactured from a single piece of resistant polyethylene (PE). This area is also overshadowed by a UV lamp located over the full length of where the dishes are opened up during the dispensing process. The lamp emits powerful concentrated UV radiation achieving bactericidal efficiency in the area most vulnerable to contamination. |  |
|
| The MediaJet can be paired with an Imaje inkjet printer to allow traceability throughout the batch. The user can effortlessly label each plate with alphanumeric text, expiry/production dates and even barcodes. Printing occurs on the side of the dish so it will not interfere with even the most basic colony counters. |  |

MediaJet provides all features necessary to support the individual needs in quality control. All process relevant information can be documented using a standard label printer or by directly transferring the information to a computer. When working in connection with MediaClave, this data can also be printed on its embedded label printer. |
