ADM Series

Automated dispensing/mixing device for sample and agar.

Automates the dispensing and mixing of sample and agar.
Ensures uniformity in both the dispensed amount and the mixing condition of the sample and the agar. Thus an operator can work consistently without variations.
Restricts the operator's main work to setting/recovering of petri dish and sample container. Consequently the operator can work with less work load.
Facilitates the post-incubation data administration by using a barcode label attached to the petri dish.
Prevents contamination by installation of an optional clean booth.

A sample dispensing robot with micro pipet moves laterally to load a chip onto each sample, and then performs the sample aspiration, sample dispensing and chip disposal.
Uses a reader to read a barcode that is attached to a sample bottle, and then does the dispensing.
Racks for dispensed samples are stocked in the rack storing section.

Dispenses agar onto a petri dish on which the sample has already been dispensed, and then applies a flat, circular motion to mix the sample and the agar evenly in the petri dish.
Mixing time and frequency can be set as required.

Sets maximum of 240 petri dishes.
Ensures trouble-free progression of a stored petri dish to the next process with its unique petri dish separating mechanism.
Auto petri dishes are not required. There is no specification of the type of petri dish.

Creates barcode information that is a combination of the sample data and the data of the dispensed amount, the operation mode etc. (In this case, the sample data is the data that has been pre-entered or read by a barcode reader.) Then, the created barcode label is sticked to the dispensed petri dish lid.
Facilitates the post-incubation sample administration by the barcode.

There is a clean air device with a HEPA filter on the clean booth to supply clean air to the petri dish lid opening and closing section and the pipette chip.
There is a safety switch on the clean booth door. When the door is opened, the cycle is immediately stopped or terminated.
