Whitley WASP Touch®

Overview

Whether you are working in the field of dental research, food microbiology, calculating antimicrobial concentration (MICs) or studying the microbiome, this robust, reliable device could really save time and money in your laboratory.

WASP Touch® provides Automated Intelligent Monitoring Software (AIMS) to guide you through set-up and daily check routines – ensures consistent trouble-free plating. Precise quantities of sanitising fluids are dispensed automatically to maintain optimum levels. This ensures effective and efficient sanitisation takes place.

The deposition profiles possible with WASP Touch® allow bacterial and fungal colonies to be enumerated over a 100,000-fold (5 log₁₀) range, from a minimum of 20 cfu/ml in 1000 μl pour plate mode to a maximum of 2 x 10⁶ cfu/ml in 10 μl logarithmic mode.

Spiral plating techniques are recognised in ISO 4833-2 & 7218 as well as the AOAC 977.27 standard.

Optional fully comprehensive maintenance and breakdown contracts are available to prolong the life of your investment. (Note: different arrangements apply in different countries).
