Trace your dilutions
Dilugent® Shaker
42 LED lights, one under each Dilucup®, indicate exactly which cup you should dilute or plate using different colours:
- Green: Dilucup® to be diluted
- Orange: Dilucups already diluted in the current sample
- Red: Dilucups diluted in previous samples
The only instrument that allows you to trace dilutions
Why is it useful to trace dilutions?
Tracing dilutions it is interesting for instance to investigate whether there was an error in execution that could explain an unexpected enumeration of microorganisms.
- Dilugent® Shaker saves information about Dilucup® batch, operator ID, sample name, shaking time, rotation speed, number of dilutions in a sample and the day and time of the dilution.
- Easy export of data to an USB memory.
- Possible association to LIMS.

Which version best suits your needs?
The Light version simply offers guided dilutions with the 3 standard colours. The foot pedal can be used to activate the agitation.
- Benefits: budget-friendly.
With the standard version, you are able to trace dilutions and export the data.
-Benefits: tracing dilutions is useful if you need to go back and see how dilutions were made. For example, once you export the data from Dilugent® Shaker you may find that the order of the samples was incorrect and this explains an unexpected microbiological count.
With the Pro version you can program dilutions as wanted, change LED colours, and connect it to LIMS in the future (the LIMS interface must be developed separately).
-Benefits: you can use the Dilucups in the order you want. For example: you can start diluting at the back of the blister or perhaps in the middle. Different LED colour are useful if a user is colour-blind or if the sample to be diluted is very colorful.
