Automatic media preparators (nutrient media preparators and nutrient media sterilizers) optimized for the preparation, sterilization and sterile filling of liquids, such as agar culture media, peptone water and buffer solutions or other sterile liquid media. Available in seven different sizes for 10 to 120 liters of media. Featuring an improved heating performance, rapid recooling, a magnetic stirrer, an inner container, temperature-interlocked dispensing nozzles and bushings for filling and supplying additives. The optimized automation regulates process times and ensures that the sterile media are of high quality.

without external intervention.

In order to meet individual requirements, a total of 7 models of the automated media preparators Systec Mediaprep are available. The three compact devices have a capacity of 10, 20 or 30 litres. Even while the smallest device is still on the laboratory table, the two larger preparators are already suitable for mobile use due to rollers with parking brakes. The four larger devices offer a utility chamber of 45, 65, 90 or 120 litres, they can also be rolled and therefore any place in the laboratory is suitable for them.

All Systec media preparators feature an improved heat output and are equipped with rapid re-cooling, a magnetic stirrer, an inner container and temperature-interlocked filling nozzles and feedthroughs for the filling and addition of additives. The optimised automation furthermore regulates process times and thus also ensures the consistent high quality of the sterile media.

Powerful heating elements ensure fast heating. The rapid cooling is effected through water circulation at the external walls of the media vessel with sterile demineralized water that is cooled with external water via a heat exchanger. The total cycle time including heating, sterilizing and cooling is between 60 and 120 minutes, depending on the vessel size, the amount of medium and the temperature of the cooling water. The sterile-filtered support pressure prevents the medium from foaming or over-boiling. A compressor is installed as standard in all Mediaprep models.
