Whitley Automated Spiral Plater
The Whitley Automated Spiral Plater (WASP) eliminates serial dilutions. It offers a real reduction in the cost per test and standardises counting methods. It is used in the food industry to test for safe levels of bacteria and as a quality assurance and research tool in pharmaceuticals, water and dental.
Don Whitley Scientific offers a ‘Quality Counts Scheme’ in which you can participate should you need to provide external quality assessments (UK customers only).
