Used DR. SCHENK Prometheus MT-146 #9079460 for sale

DR. SCHENK Prometheus MT-146 is a laboratory equipment and accessory that serves as an automated antimicrobial disc diffusion test equipment. Specifically, this system is designed for measuring the sensitivity of antimicrobial agents against microorganisms in laboratory settings. This versatile testing equipment is ideal for research applications and routine plate inoculation in clinical laboratories. Prometheus MT-146 is a compact device with a size of 235 mm x 205 mm x 135 mm (w x d x h) and a weight of 1.85 kg. It operates on power supplied either by mains (220V) or from rechargeable batteries. Additionally, DR. SCHENK Prometheus MT-146 has an LCD screen with a size 132mm x 80mm that offers easy to use menu for data input and test analysis. In order to run Prometheus MT-146, it requires sterile disposable plates to be placed inside the holder of the unit. It then drops 169 different sterile antimicrobial discs either directly from the machine or manually onto the inoculated plates. The discs are prepared by dissolving various antimicrobial agents in a biodegradable substrate and pouring it over sterile plastic discs for dispensing. After the activation, the discs are dried for few minutes before placing them on the plastic plates. This ensures that a uniform growth of microorganisms on the plate. Once the plates are inoculated with the discs, DR. SCHENK Prometheus MT-146 reads the growth information of the microorganisms on the plate automatically at intervals and produces a graph. The graph of the results is then printed out. Through the automatic detection, this lab equipment can identify the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of the antimicrobial agents and compile a report detailing the results. Prometheus MT-146 includes softwares and advanced features, such as: user-defined parameters, external control, identification of organisms, multiple curves and storage of data. The large data storage capacity (32 GB) enables the tool to maintain the data records of multiple patients with customized parameters. The data report can be easily transported to a PC and other peripherals for further analysis. Overall, DR. SCHENK Prometheus MT-146 is a powerful and versatile laboratory equipment used for antimicrobial testing in laboratory settings. Its compact size, large data storage capacity, and advanced features make it the ideal choice for both researchers and clinicians.
