Multiple Inoculator (Steers Replicator)

​This Inoculator, designated also as the Pepper Laboratory Inocula Replicator, can be used in many different situations especially for the routine bacteriophage typing of staphylococci and routine testing of bacterial susceptibility to chemotherapeutic inocula by a single manipulation of the instrument.

​Bacteriophage typing or the routine in virto testing of the susceptibility of bacterial isolates to chemotherapeutic agents incorporated in an agar culture medium has necessitated either the separate pipetting or streaking of each inoculum on as many plates of inoculations pipetted or streaked may reach sizable proportions in a laboratory where many tests are done simultaneously. The Multiple Inoculator is a labor savings devices which permits more than 50 replicate plating of each inoculum with each filling of the reservoirs.

The Steers Replicator is a precision instrument. All measurements and machining are performed within extremely tight tolerances, by highly skilled and professional machinists. Visit our "Power in Precision" to see images of the machining process.
