The spiral plate method has proven to provide comparable results to traditional methods for microbiological testing. Studies from 1973 and 1977 showed that the variance and reliability of the spiral plate method were within the margins of error of traditional quantitative methods even when using different types of food and operators.
Advantages of the Spiral Method
The spiral plate method reduces the number of serial dilutions and petri dishes required while maintaining the growth rate. With the possibility of using different petri dishes, this method offers efficient counting procedures.
Why choose IUL’ s Eddy Jet 2W?
The Eddy Jet 2W combines dilution and plating in one device, resulting in lower cost per test, reduced handling time and increased productivity. This easy-to-use spiral plater saves time thanks to electron beam sterilisation of microinjection syringes, eliminating cleaning cycles.
High Performance and Safety
The Eddy Jet 2W offers high precision and prevents cross-contamination thanks to an exclusive micro-injection syringe technology. Fully validated according to ISO 7218, AOAC 977.27 and FDA guidelines, this innovative device provides accurate and reliable microbiological results without the use of disinfectants.
