OverviewThe UIS-360 universal inoculation spinner is a laboratory device for even spreading of microbial samples across agar plates. It delivers controlled, uniform rotation with an adjustable speed range of 10–300 RPM and supports two interchangeable platforms (U-150 and P-90). Low power consumption (3.7 W) and 12 V DC compatibility allow operation from standard power banks; optional accessories include a foot-switch for hands-free on/off control and a polycarbonate splash shield for added safety.
Use it for:- routine culturing and isolation of microorganisms
- antimicrobial susceptibility testing
- pathogen detection in clinical and research samples
- epidemiological studies and outbreak investigations
- microbial contamination analysis in food products
- quality control and safety assessments
- monitoring microbes in soil, water and air samples
- environmental pollution and biodegradation studies
- sterility testing of products
- R&D of antibiotics and probiotics
- educational teaching of microbiological techniques
- fundamental and applied research in microbial physiology and genetics
