Whitley WASP Touch spiral plater and Synbiosis aCOLyte 3 HD colony counter

The Whitley WASP Touch is an automated precision laboratory instrument designed to deliver a spiral deposition offering 1000-fold dilution across a single plate. This makes the product useful for any bacterial enumeration work where serial dilutions would normally be required. Spiral plates produced by the instrument are suitable for use with devices such as aCOLyte 3 HD, the latest automated colony counting device from Synbiosis.

The Whitley WASP Touch features an intuitive touchscreen to enable users to process samples rapidly with good reproducibility. The aCOLyte 3 HD software uses a powerful algorithm for colony counting on pour and spiral plates. Plates are automatically counted with results directly transferred to Excel or Open Office.

When used together, the Whitley WASP Touch and aCOLyte3 HD are claimed to reduce cost and time per sample by up to 70%, making them a good package for the needs of modern microbiology laboratories.
