How to enumerate microorganisms?
| July 28, 2022
How to enumerate the microorganisms in a food sample using Dilucup?
- First homogenize the sample if it is solid. This is the first 1/10 dilution.
- Once the sample is suspended or if the sample is liquid, serial dilute it using Dilucup.
- Plate 1 mL of the selected suspension(s) and incubate.
- Count the colonies (the plates should have between 30 and 300 CFUs to get a statistically valid result).
- Divide the average number of CFUs per the dilution level to get the number of microorganisms per mL or g in the original sample.

Accurate volume
| February 9, 2022
As you may know, according to EN ISO 6887-1: 2017 the volume of a diluent should not deviate from 9,0 mL ± 2 %.
99,97 % of all Dilucups analysed during 2020 and 2021 had a volume of 9,0 mL ± 1 %, with an average of 9,0 mL +0,2 %.
Each point on the diagram represents the volume of a manually controlled Dilucup® in the QC laboratory. Values are given as deviation from 9 mL.
New firmware version available
| January 27, 2022
There is a new firmware version, number 1.2.5, available for Dilugent® Shaker.

Dilugent® Shaker service
| September 28, 2021
On September 27, we had the first Dilugent® Shaker service training with the technicians of our distributors from different countries. Remember that the instrument has a 2-year warranty from the purchase date and that the service should be done approximately once per year depending on its use.
Contact us at support@labrobot.com for questions about the service.
Twice as many samples
| August 31, 2021
Twice as many samples in the same space with Dilucup® Elegance. The design of Dilucup® allows the blisters to be packed in a way that significantly reduces footprint. Less volume equates to less storage and transport space, resulting in less impact on the environment. Blisters from opened bags should be stored in the fridge and consumed within 3 months. If the bags are not open, they can be stored for up to 30 months at room temperature.
High speed vortexed
| July 21, 2021
The design of Dilucup® allows its rotation at high speed (400-660 rpm) on Dilushaker III or Dilugent® Shaker without spilling.
Once a lab has moved to Dilucup® it doesn't move back to tubes!
Don´t you believe it?

Accurate volume guaranteed
| May 27, 2021
In 2020 none of the Dilucups manually controlled in our QC laboratory exceeded a ± 1% deviation from 9,0mL:
- 90,9% had a deviation of 9,0 mL ± 0,5%
- 0,3% between -0,5 and -1,0%
- 8,8% between +0,5 and +1,0%
Do you know any other serial dilution method with greater volume precision?
"Håll Sverige Rent" movement
| May 5, 2021
LabRobot was happy to participate in the Swedish movement “Håll Sverige Rent" (= Keep Sweden Tidy) and we dedicated a few minutes of our lunch break to collect plastic waste around our building.
If we all would do the same frequently, we would greatly reduce the amount of plastic materials in the nature and the oceans!
