Culture media preparators
The media preparators from the AE-MP Series optimize the workflow of microbiology and plant tissue culture laboratories by saving on costs, preparation time, and workload.
A single device encompasses the preparation, sterilization, fast cooling, and dispensation of high-quality culture media with excellent batch-to-batch reproducibility. Its design prevents contamination, gelation, solubility, or homogeneity issues, as well as burns.
The media preparators from the AE-MP Series are designed to reduce the total preparation time and provide large volumes of culture media. Choose the configuration that best suits your laboratory from among the 6 media preparator sizes and the 4 available dispensing modes. Additionally, the heating capacity of each model can be upgraded to drastically reduce the duration of the heating phase.
Streamline your preparation time, speed up dispensation and reduce workload
Enjoy much faster production times compared to the traditional autoclave method. Preparation volumes range from 2L to 90L, with dispensing speeds ranging from 7 mL/s to 100 mL/s. Select the dispensation temperature that best meets your requirements.
Hassle-free cleaning with multiple automated functions
Dispensing lines can be cleaned and disinfected before, during, and after the dispensation phase with steam pulses that reach the entire length of the line to prevent contamination. You can pause the dispensation phase to avoid gelling issues. The inner vessel features ergonomic handles and can be easily removed.
Sterilize professionally with excellent reproducibility
The use of the flexible probe and F₀ regulation allows sterilizations to be performed with maximum precision. Ability to configure programs with ramps for preparing special recipes. Minimizes concerns regarding contamination, precipitation, homogeneity, or overcooking. Record and analyze the processing of each batch.
Operation
Temperature
Pressure
Operation
The powerful heating elements of the sterilization chamber heat up water to produce saturated steam and warm the culture media located inside the inner vessel. Simultaneously, the magnetic stirrer of adjustable stirring speed, ensures the correct dissolution of the solute in the solvent.
Temperature
Pressure
Upon reaching the sterilization temperature in the medium, the sterilization phase begins and the temperature is accurately sustained for the predefined duration.
Temperature
Pressure
Finally, a fast cooling phase begins with pressure support, activating the water coils that surround the sterilization chamber to quickly cool the load until it reaches the dispensation temperature, which will be maintained indefinitely until all the prepared culture medium is dispensed. Antibiotics, pH correctors or thermolabile ingredients can be dispensed at any time using the external dispensing ports.

Applications
Preparation of agar
The fast cooling system saves a lot of time. Additionally, you can start dispensing the sterilized medium whenever you want since the temperature is maintained at the chosen temperature indefinitely. Likewise, the dispensing process can be interrupted and resumed later thanks to the pressure support system, preventing the agar in the dispensing lines from solidifying.
Plant tissue culture
Thanks to dispensation through pressure support, you can dispense large volumes at high speed. Additionally, larger models can be overpowered, which, along with fast cooling, allows for a drastic reduction in the duration of each cycle. pH correctors can be dispensed at any time using the external dispensing ports.
Preparation of buffer solution
Thanks to dispensation through pressure support, you can dispense large volumes at high speed. Additionally, larger models can be overpowered, which, along with fast cooling, allows for a drastic reduction in the duration of each cycle. pH correctors can be dispensed at any time using the external dispensing ports.
Preparation of lysogeny broth
Thanks to dispensation through pressure support, you can dispense large volumes at high speed. Additionally, larger models can be overpowered, which, along with fast cooling, allows for a drastic reduction in the duration of each cycle.
