Interview with Mrs Chantal PATROM, Head of Microbiology Moulin de la Marche Laboratory:

Why did you feel the need in an automatic plater?

“We analyze about 9 500 samples per year on which we count mesophilic flora at 30°C. We wanted to save on consumables. „

How did easySpiral Dilute change your work?

“The use of the easySpiral Dilute and the Scan 1200 save us 24 000€ in consumables per year, compared to the film growing method that we used before the acquisition of these devices, and that only for the analyzes of the mesophilic flora at 30°C. In 10 months, we have returned our investment.

With the easySpiral Dilute we can earn money and time for subculturing. The Scan 1200 allowed us to save valuable time on Petri dishes reading.„

Why did you choose Interscience?

“Demonstration and free loan allowed us to test the equipment before purchase. We are really satisfied with easySpiral Dilute and Scan 1200, just as we are satisfied with Interscience follow-up with the installation of the equipment.„
