Interview with Mr Emmanuel Souhaut, Head of the QUALI CONTROLE CEBAC Bacteriology Laboratory:
Why did you need a peristaltic pump?

The need came from the fact that we had to replace an old peristaltic pump with which we were having problems.

How has the FlexiPump changed the way you work?

The FlexiPump is easy to use, and saves us time in our work of dispensing biological culture media, which represents 130 dispensings per day in 90, 100 or 500 mL vials. This method of dispensing also allows us to show our auditors that we are dispensing the right amount of volume, thanks to the daily calibration of the device. Another advantage is the low consumption of consumables: we ordered 5 sets of tubing with which we were able to cover our needs for one year.

Why did you choose Interscience ?

We chose Interscience because we had installed two Scan 100 in 2008. We were pleased with these manual colony counters, which have a pleasant stainless steel appearance. Interscience is a quality and reliable brand, which is why we renewed our purchase for the FlexiPump.

We were familiar with the Watson MarlowTM brand that equips the pump head, it’s a pump with a reputation for high quality. We also appreciated the fact that we had a relevant demonstration from a competent sales person, which confirmed our choice of purchase.
