Sampleprep Media Sterilizer | Rapid, Sterile Preparation of 1–30L Culture Media

Overview

Sampleprep is an efficient, reliable, and user-friendly media sterilization system designed for the rapid and gentle sterilization of 1–30 liters of culture medium. It ensures consistently high media quality through precise control and monitoring of temperature, time, and pressure. The intuitive multilingual graphical user interface allows easy operation without the need for special training. Sampleprep features a powerful magnetic stirrer that guarantees homogeneous mixing and prevents coagulation. Users can set and save sterilization parameters such as temperature, time, and dispensing temperature. An additional WATER BATH mode is available for pre-dissolving the culture media. This system significantly improves lab efficiency, reduces labor costs, saves storage space, and ensures consistent media quality. Sampleprep is the ideal solution for modern laboratories that require fast, flexible, and reproducible media preparation.

Feature:

1. High Operational Safety

Sampleprep ensures safety from the start with an automatic seal check before sterilization begins. Multiple independent monitoring systems oversee pressure and temperature, and a built-in safety valve and burst disc provide fail-safe protection even if electronic controls fail.

2. Fast Heating

Powerful heating elements allow for rapid media preparation while minimizing thermal stress. Controlled pressure and temperature ensure saturated steam, improving media fertility and achieving complete sterilization quickly and effectively.

3. Reliable Sterilization

The system uses a strong magnetic stirrer with adjustable speed and reversible direction to ensure uniform mixing. Together with a precision Pt-100 temperature sensor and microprocessor control, this guarantees thorough and consistent sterilization across a wide viscosity range.

4. Rapid Cooling

An efficient plate heat exchanger enables fast and gentle cooling. The cooling water system is kept separate from the media chamber, eliminating contamination risk. A support pressure system also accelerates the cooldown phase for faster cycle turnover.

5. Easy Dispensing

A wide port allows safe, quick addition of supplements (e.g., antibiotics or blood) before dispensing. Automatic sterilization of the dispense port prevents contamination. Low dead volume design maximizes yield, and it easily connects to automated Petri dish fillers.

6. Cleaning and Maintenance

With no internal heating elements, the vessel is easy to clean. The automatic cleaning cycle sterilizes the chamber and tubing, flushing out residues with sterile water. Smart alerts notify users when service is due, minimizing downtime and keeping the system efficient.

🔬 Ideal Applications

• Preparation of agar, broth, and selective media

• Sterilization of large or viscous culture volumes

• Pre-dissolution of powder media (Waterbath mode)

• Media dispensing into Petri dish fillers

• Sterile addition of antibiotics or supplements

💡 FAQ – Lab-Centric

Q1: Can I use it for blood-enriched media?
Yes! The system supports sterile supplement addition just before dispensing, including blood, antibiotics, and indicators.

Q2: Is it compatible with automatic Petri dish fillers?
Absolutely. Sampleprep is designed to integrate directly with automated filling systems like AELAB’s Auto Petri Dish Filler.

Q3: Does it support temperature-sensitive media?
Yes. You can customize sterilization and dispensing temperatures, and even use WATERBATH mode for gentle pre-heating.

Q4: How do I prevent contamination during dispense?
The dispensing port is automatically sterilized, and the system uses a low dead-volume design to minimize leftover media.

Q5: How much training is required?
Very little. The multilingual GUI touchscreen makes operation intuitive—even for new lab personnel.
