Denley - Rotary Plater

Applications & Use Cases

• Used for even distribution of microbial cultures onto agar plates for microbiological analysis.
• Essential in medical and pharmaceutical laboratories for antibiotic susceptibility testing.
• Utilised in food safety and quality control for bacterial colony counting.
• Applied in research settings for consistent inoculation of growth media.

Typical Specifications

Typical plate capacity

Units of this type commonly accommodate standard 90mm Petri dishes, with some models designed for multiple plates simultaneously.

Rotation speed

Typically offers variable rotation speeds, often ranging from 0 to 100 RPM, to suit different plating requirements.

Power supply

Commonly operates on a standard single-phase electrical supply, typically 230V, 50Hz for the UK market.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, the footprint is generally compact, designed for benchtop use in laboratory environments.

Construction materials

Often constructed with durable, easy-to-clean materials such as stainless steel or chemical-resistant plastics, suitable for laboratory conditions.
