Services
Petri Dish Filling Systems
Our automated petri dish filling systems handle single to ten-lane production with precision agar dispensing and HEPA-conditioned drying tunnels. Interchangeable heads enable quick changeovers between dish types while maintaining contamination control. These systems reduce labor costs by up to 75% compared to manual operations.
Test Tube Filling Machines
Available in semi and fully automated configurations, our test tube filling machines ensure consistent product quality through precision dispensing and automated capping. Customizable change parts accommodate various tube dimensions while integrated printing stations provide traceability for diagnostic applications.
Bottle Filling Systems
Fully automated bottle filling systems handle square containers with precision dispensing and automated cap placement. Our systems maintain sterility through controlled environments while accommodating different bottle sizes through modular change parts.
Media Preparators
Mobile steam-heated media preparators ranging from 30-500 liters provide bubble-free media preparation with magnetic agitation. These pressurized vessels integrate directly with filling systems through silicone tubing for continuous production workflows.
