Automated Streaking System Integrated with the Rapid Bacteria Culture
Real walk-away system for rapid bacterial culture and plate streaking of liquid samples.
The system is composed of two units: Alfred 60AST and Sidecar.
Sidecar streaking unit stocks 240 Petri dishes and up to 12 different media.
The streaked dishes are incubated on board at 37°C for the requested analysis time.
