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.

Sample Dispensing Section
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.
Agar Dispensing/Mixing 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.
Petri Dish Supplying/Separating Section
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.
Barcode Sticking Section
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.
Petri Dish Storing Section
Piles and stores a maximum of 160 dispensed petri dishes.
- The number of dishes to be piled can be set as required.
Clean Booth
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.
