Inoculation Spinner UIS-360
The UIS-360 Universal inoculation spinner is a versatile laboratory device that optimizes microbial plating and ensures consistent results. The UIS-360 provides smooth rotation for spreading samples across agar surfaces, improving the efficiency and reproducibility of microbiological workflows.
With an adjustable speed range of 10–300 rpm, the UIS-360 accomodates various protocols, from gentle inoculum spreading to vigorous.
The compact footprint and lightweight build make it easy to handle or even take into the field (it runs on just 3.7 W, so it can be powered by a standard 12 V battery pack).
