Alliance Bio Expertise DISTRIWEL 440 – Automatic Culture Media Filling Unit

The DISTRIWEL 440 is an automated culture media dispensing unit designed for microbiology laboratories to eliminate manual petri dish pouring. It addresses time consumption and operator dependency in quality control and microbiology departments seeking to standardize culture plate preparation.

Equipped with an integrated Masterflex peristaltic pump, the unit dispenses growth medium with ±1% accuracy across 1-99 ml range; it can fill up to 750 Ø90mm dishes per hour. The 440-dish carousel enables extended unattended operation with single loading. Built-in Peltier cooling accelerates medium solidification; integrated UV lamp and plexiglass protective shield minimize aerobic contamination risk during pouring.

Touchscreen LCD interface allows storage and retrieval of 40 distinct protocols, enabling rapid protocol switching for repetitive workflows. Quick-release carousel and transfer disk facilitate efficient cleaning. Optional laser marking system (LINX CJ400) applies 25-character (2-line) traceability printing directly on dishes, supporting GLP/GMP compliance. Optional foot pedal provides alternative manual control capability.

This French-manufactured instrument operates on 100-250V, 50-60Hz power supply with 600W power consumption.
