Serial diluting with tubes and a micropipette can be challenging because the risk of contaminating the inside of the tube is high. That is why straws are often used, but how can you be sure about the accuracy of the pipetted volume?

The good thing about Dilucup is that since it is a low cup, you can safely use a micropipette and get the best possible volume accuracy.

The most important thing when performing serial dilutions is that the volume is accurate. Otherwise, you can forget about having a good result because the accumulated error will give you a wrong enumeration of microorganisms.

Volume statistics (based on 25.000 measurements):

  • 94,4 % -> 9 mL ± 0.5 %
  • 99,95 % -> 9 mL ± 1 %
  • 100 % -> 9 mL ± 2 % (according to ISO standards)

Methods where filling tubes or other recipients is done in the laboratory cannot guarantee a volume as accurate as Dilucup.

Last week we had the pleasure of meeting with most of our distributors and it was a great success!

Thank you all very much for the positive energy and for making those days an inspiration for everyone.

We look forward to seeing you next time!

Our facilities will remain open during the summer and you will be able to place your orders as usual.

About the photo: Hervé took this photo a few days ago on one of his bike tours along the beautiful west coast of Sweden nearby Gothenburg.

What a nice view, don’t you think?

Have a great summer! 🙂

We are so happy to share that we received a new award for our sustained growth in the Addlife group!

This award is the result of the hard work, dedication and innovative strategies of our entire team. We could not achieve this without the support and trust of our valued customers, who are the key to our success.

Thank you for your continued partnership!

Glad Påsk!
Happy Easter!
Hyvää pääsiäistä!

Latest volume accuracy analysis

The volume of a diluent must be accurate to have reliable results and according to EN ISO 6887-1: 2017
the volume should not deviate from 9,0 mL ± 2 % (9 mL ± 0,18 mL).

We want to be better than this
and that is why Dilucup® aims for a volume range of 9 mL ± 1 %.

99,95% of the 25.000 latest Dilucups analysed in our QC laboratory
had a volume of 9 mL ± 1 %,
with an average of 9 mL + 0,26 % mL (9,02 mL)
and a SD of 0,21 %.

Pretty good volume accuracy, don’t you think?

The ergonomic solution for serial dilutions

Have you ever got pain in your wrist or joints?

If so, you surely know how limiting it can be,
requiring sometimes even months of sick leave to recover.

When you use a vortex mixer
vibrations are absorbed by your hand/wrist.
With the Dilucup system,
the shaker is the one that absorbs all movements,
so your joints don’t suffer any damage.

Our serial dilution system
protects you against
repetitive strain injuries in hands or wrists.

It’s really comfortable to use.
Try it and you won’t regret!

Don't let a vortex ruin your well-being!

How to make multiple serial dilutions at the same time?

Making many serial dilutions can be time consuming and monotonous.

Have you never thought about making multiple serial dilutions at the same time?
This is possible with Dilugent® Shaker Pro!

You can dilute up to 7 samples at the same time without getting lost.

Watch the video to see an example!
