Large Capacity Minimizes Operator Visits

This instrument addresses two factors that drive efficiency of automated planting and streaking of samples, namely plated media capacity and sample loading capacity:

• WASP^® features a 9 silo carousel that holds 324 to 378 culture plates
• Each silo can be loaded with a unique media type or silos can be loaded with the same medium
• Using a pallet system you can load 72 ESwabs, 72 Urine Vacutainers or 36 Cary-Blair fecal transports at any one time
• Large screw cap containers are managed using a Specimen Turntable that allows you to load up to 42 containers at any one time
• WASP's unique pallet & turntable systems allow you to continually and randomly reload with additional specimens anytime during the cycle without stopping the instrument
• After streaking, culture plates can be automatically sorted and presented based upon incubation conditions using an integrated Sort-Out Plate Stacker.
