MediaFill Plate Pourer / Stacker

MediaFill 220, 440 and 660

We are proud to introduce MediaFill™; the new plate pourer from Systec. MediaFill is the perfect companion to the popular MediaPrep line of automated media sterilizers. Connect MediaFill to MediaPrep™ and you have completely closed and sterile walk-away system for media preparation and plate pouring.

MediaFill can pour standard 90 mm, 60 mm and up 26 mm deep dishes. With a processing rate of up to 900 plates per hour, MediaFill provides valuable time saving with reliable efficiency. Three different carousel sizes are available: 220, 440 and 660 plates, unlike the MediaJet, which only has two carousel sizes. All carousels have the EasyStack™ feature which allows users to load and unload a carousel full of plates. Transferring filled dishes is now fast and easy; after pouring is completed simply remove the carousel with filled dishes and replace with a second carousel full of empty dishes. Unload plates from the carousels at your convenience!

MediaFill is controlled via an intuitive touch screen interface and includes a database of Petri dish brands to insure reliable operation with your dish supplier of choice. The integrated peristaltic pump insures precise filling of media, a second pump is available for simultaneous dispensing of blood or other additives.  Both pumps feature Drop-Stop™ control which prevents dripping of media between dish dispensing. This is an improvement over the MediaJet, which only offers a single pump.

MediaFill is manufactured with a frictionless glass ring and stepper motors for silent and precise operation. The smooth aluminum surface is easy to clean with no holes or gaps where media can flow into. Shaft seals are installed on every moving axis to avoid agar penetration into the internal components of the machine. MediaFill also utilizes a UV lamp with 2.3 W UVC light emission ensuring sterile dispensing.

Innovative features include Peltier cooling for reducing plate condensation, shaker function for improved distribution of media into Petri dishes, connection to Imaje inkjet printer for direct printing on the sides of dishes (no more labels!), Ethernet connection for remote monitoring / control from a PC and optional pager function which alerts the operator via wireless pager of completed cycles and other events. This feature is unique to the MediaFill, as MediaJet and other plate pourers do not offer ethernet connection or remote monitoring.
