Notice Information

Notice Title

Provision of Spiral Platers

Notice Description

Public Health England (PHE) is seeking to replace the end of their life span automated spiral platers for its Food, Water and Environmental (FW&E) Microbiology Services. The use of a spiral plater system saves resource for the laboratories in terms of staff time and also removes the repetitive strain issues associated with pipetting and spreading such small volumes across agar plates. The three FW&E Microbiology Services laboratories inoculate approximately 2,500 plates per month per instrument. The systems must allow small volumes (50 microlitres) of food homogenate samples to spiralled onto the surface of a 90mm agar plate in a standardised manner. using this piece of equipment If you are interested in participating in this opportunity please login / register to PHE's eSourcing platform Bravo: https://phe.bravosolution.co.uk
