Benefits of dilution cups - Dilucup® System

⏱️ Save time:

No more weighing, mixing, and sterilizing — go directly from sample arrival to dilution and plating.

📋 Standardize the dilutions:

Each cup includes a highly accurate volume of diluent, validated by our QC lab. Dilutions are always performed the same way, ensuring consistency day after day.

📈Increase reproducibility:

Identical diluents, batch after batch, make your enumerations comparable over time.

🔬 Minimize the risk of contamination:

The Dilucups are sterile and sealed. Less handling and exposure means less risk of contamination.

⚕️ Improve staff safety and ergonomics:

Reduced contact with powders, bacterial strains and hot media means a safer work environment for everyone. Furthermore, the complete elimination of the vortex mixer makes dilutions much more ergonomic and prevents repetitive strain injuries.

🧫 Optimize laboratory resources:

Scales, autoclaves, bacterial strains and many kinds of utensils are no more needed to produce the diluents, so they can be used for other projects. There is no need for calibrations and all Dilucup® batches undergo quality control testing, saving you time and effort.

✔️ Simplify training and workflows:

New staff follow a clear and easy procedure with fewer critical steps where errors can occur.
