This new device is so good, you can actually get excited about pouring Petri dishes. We periodically ask labs for their "wish lists", and on more than one occasion, researchers have said, "A good, inexpensive, reliable sterile media dispenser." Most devices on the market are either expensive, unreliable peristaltic pumps, or expensive unreliable motor-driven, syringe-based pumps.

     At Tritech Research, we designed a system combining simple, yet elegant, foot pedal controlled electronic dispensing circuitry with an inexpensive, detachable, miniature, high-tech electromagnetic pump that is fairly autoclavable (!) to make the PourBoy III.  You can still sterilize with alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, or hot water, but now, for extra assurance of sterility, you have the option of occasionally autoclaving, as well.  Just unplug the pump from the controller base, wrap it (and the input and output tubes) in aluminum foil, and autoclave. See our Extra Pump-Tubing set (PB3-PTS) product description for more details.

Great new features on the PourBoy® III include:

• easily user-calibrated to accurately deliver volumes from 0.1 to 999.0 mL
  
• user-settable pause interval from 0.1 to 999 seconds between each dispensing operation
• user memory to store common dispensing operations, i.e different Petri dish sizes
• microprocessor-controlled accuracy, and a fully digital, wipe-to-clean membrane keypad
  

Note: The PourBoy® III pumps are designed to pump smooth liquids, like aqueous solutions, hot molten agar, and oils, but not particulate materials like grits, grains, pastes, etc.  For example, it is great for dispensing hot agar growth media into Petri dishes and dispensing sterile cell culture media, but not suitable for dispensing oatmeal or Drosohila food.  Feel free to contact us for your special dispensing needs, such as computer-controlled multichannel dispensers.  If you can think of it, we can probably make it!
