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.

Highest Culture Media Quality

It’s no coincidence that MASTERCLAVE has been the gold standard of culture media manufacturers for more than 35 years. Your lab will gain the same peace of mind thanks to numerous features for the highest quality in terms of homogeneity, traceability and reproducibility between the different preparations made from the same lot.

The entire media preparation process is standardized and under control from start to finish:

  • Homogeneity of media:
  • New, exclusive stirring paddle for maximized homogeneity
    • Centralized probe for uniform media temperature control
    • Sterilization control throughout tank
  • Exclusive air inlet filter on the lid – no contamination risk
  • Agar dispensing at optimal temperature guarantees quick solidification & reduced condensation to limit contamination risk
  • Pressurized agar dispensing for precise, uniform volume and full
  • standardization of plates
  • Storage and transfer of all cycle details
  • QA report is automatically generated with printed graph for easy reading
  • Compliance (standards including ISO11133, IS07218 and GMP) ensured
  • I-connect enhances information flow and data safety
  • Optional connectivity with LABGUARD 3D
