Extended range of automated culture media preparation instruments
Well-targeted patient care depends on accurate detection of pathogens – and high-quality culture media preparation is at the foundation of reliable test results. This means, among other things, assuring the homogeneity of the media, control and management of the cycle, temperature control, and traceability. MASTERCLAVE® has been the culture media preparator of choice for culture media manufacturers for more than 35 years. For labs and healthcare providers that want that same excellence for their in-house culture media preparation, MASTERCLAVE® ushers in the next generation with two new additions to the line for even greater flexibility and productivity.
