Next-Generation Instrument for Automation of Samples for Bacterial Enumeration

IDEXX, the global leader in rapid microbiological testing for water, today announced the European launch of the Quanti-Tray Sealer PLUS, a next-generation instrument that automates sample handling for bacterial enumeration. The Quanti-Tray Sealer PLUS provides increased productivity through improved functionality when compared to its predecessor.

The Quanti-Tray Sealer PLUS is used with Quanti-Tray and Quanti-Tray 2000, in conjunction with IDEXX’s Colilert and Coliert-18 tests, Pseudalert and Enterolert, to quantify bacterial testing results for coliforms, E. coli, enterococci, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa respectively.

The new model warms up 80% faster than the current model, can process more trays without interruption and offers easy access for quick cleaning. The Quanti-Tray Sealer PLUS also features a new sleep mode, which allows customers to start testing sooner and also improves work flow by sealing each tray up to 20% faster.

“The Quanti-Tray Sealer PLUS demonstrates IDEXX Water’s ongoing commitment to providing innovative new solutions for rapid, accurate testing of water,” commented Andrew Headland, ‎Senior Business Manager, EMEA, IDEXX Water division. “The improvements in this next-generation sealer mean that our customers can benefit from increased speed, efficiency and accuracy when employing IDEXX tests.”
