OverviewThe UIS-360 Universal Inoculation Spinner is a laboratory plate-spreading device designed for controlled, uniform distribution of microbial samples on agar surfaces. It supports routine microbiology workflows and field use with a compact, low-power design. Adjustable speed 10–300 RPM and two platform options accommodate common Petri plate formats. Optional foot-switch and polycarbonate splash shield available.
Applications / Use it for- Routine culturing and isolation of microorganisms
- Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST)
- Pathogen detection in clinical and research samples
- Epidemiology and outbreak investigation workflows
- Microbial contamination analysis in food and industrial products
- Quality control and sterility testing
- Environmental monitoring of soil, water and air samples
- R&D for antibiotics, probiotics and microbial physiology
- Teaching microbiological plating techniques
