Essential equipment & supplies for sample preparation and microbiological analysis from Interscience

INTERSCIENCE is a specialist in microbiological research with over 40 years of experience in manufacturing and developing microbiology equipment and consumables for laboratories. Interscience products ensure safe and rapid microbiological analysis. Applications span research and production in food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, environmental, and medical sectors, featuring the following core products:

1. Blender bags:

INTERSCIENCE non-filter blender bags are designed to assist during sample preparation in microbiology laboratories. The bags are used for sampling, dilution, and blending.

INTERSCIENCE filter blender bags are used for sampling, diluting, blending, and filtering samples. The bag includes a filter that optimizes the filtration and extraction of samples containing microorganisms while preventing cross-contamination risks. A wide variety of partial or full-surface filter blender bags is available to suit different sample characteristics: flexible, hard, etc.

INTERSCIENCE Instabag blender bags with pre-dosed media are blender bags containing pre-dosed dehydrated culture media. These bags are used to hold samples and dilute them with BPW media, saving users time on media preparation and sample processing.

2. Gravimetric dilutors and automatic sample weighing:

INTERSCIENCE DiluFlow gravimetric dilutors can automatically dilute a solid sample in just seconds. They can weigh up to 5000g with high accuracy. DiluFlow dilutors save time during sample preparation. Applications include pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries. In addition, data can be exported for improved process control.

DiluFlow Elite 1 kg is adapted for small volumes, meeting the exact requirements of the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. It offers the flexibility to prepare samples in tubes, bags, etc.

DiluFlow Elite is programmable with 24 preset programs. Full traceability is ensured via a bidirectional LIMS Ethernet connection. DiluFlow Elite exports analytical data to a printer, via USB, ExcelTM, Open OfficeTM, CSV, and LIMS.

The robotic arm allows safe sample placement into the bag without the risk of cross-contamination. The device has been tested for more than 1,3 million cycles, ensuring its reliability.

Gravimetric diluter lines:

• Diluflow gravimetric dilutor, 1 pump or 2 pumps
• Diluflow Pro gravimetric dilutor, 1 pump or 2 pumps
