1. Dilute the sample
Automatic method
Gravimetric dilutors
Automatically dilute the sample with the appropriate mass of diluent.
- Fast: 225 mL in 8 s
- Dilution accuracy: > 99% (in Standard or Accurate mode under optimal conditions)
- Reproducible
- Secure
- Automatic traceability
Manual method
Manual dilution
Weigh the sample and manually add the diluent.
- Long and tedious
- Lack of precision
- Not reproducible
- Lack of security
- Manual traceability
2. Blend the sample
Manual method
Laboratory blenders
- Time saving on cleaning
- Filtration and blending
- No cross-contamination
- Optimal bacterial extraction
Manual method
Sample grinding
- Time consuming cleaning
- No filtration
- Risk of cross-contamination
- Undesirable cell lysis
3. Collect the filtrate
Automatic method
Filter bags for blenders
Diluted and blended sample particles in the bag
Microorganisms to be analyzed
- Instant filtration
- Easy pipetting
Our filter bags for blenders

Our filter bags for blenders
Manual method
Bag without filter
- No filtration
- Blocked pipette
4. Dilute and plate the sample
Automatic method
Automatic platers
- From 100 to 1x107 CFU/mL on 1 Petri dish
- Up to 75% savings in consumables
- Automatic traceability to automatic colony counters with dataLink
Manual method
Manual plating
- Repetitive action method: 4 dilutions + 4 successive platings
- Lots of consumables
- Manual traceability
5. Counting the colonies
Automatic method
Automatic colony counters
- Counting is simplified with the use of a filter bag
- Standardized and reproducible results (Study conducted on Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli and Lactobacillus casei.)
- Results exported and archived automatically
Backup and archive sessions
Our Automatic colony counters
Our Automatic colony counters
Manual method
Manual counting
- Difficult counting with the use of a bag without a filter
- Variable and uncertain results
- Results entered manually:
error-prone and time-consuming
