0 10 Litres of Culture Media in Just 40 Minutes Without Reloading the Carousel
We were pleasantly surprised by the speed and efficiency of the APS One from AES CHEMUNEX. This new automated Petri dish filling system is very reliable and can carry out a complete culture media dispensing cycle without supervision. The large plate loading capacity makes it ideal and it’s a true walk-away pouring system. Its high-speed filling rate was very useful. The double pump accessory makes this automated filler very practical for large volumes: 10 litres of media in just 40 minutes at 18 ml per plate, without any need to reload the carousel with empty Petri dishes!
Loading the columns of the carousel is simple as the nominal height facilitates the easy stacking of Petri dishes. Another innovative aspect of the APS One is the pouring quality: smooth, level media in the Petri dishes without any ’wave’ effect, even for low volume agar plates. The new distribution system provides outstanding blood agar and chocolate agar plates.
We also appreciated the flexibility of use, clear menus, colour display screen and the fact that it is easy to use. The APS One provides high quality, sterile plates, minimising the risk of contamination with the machine’s easy to clean, smooth surfaces. The risk of contamination of sterile distributed media is radically reduced because the opening of each plate is limited to 4 seconds per Petri dish when pouring. The facility to change the distribution volume at any time during operation is also very reassuring and practical. We also noticed that it was easy to remove the carousel, if required, as there are no screws, but nonetheless it is an effective assembly. Furthermore the shuttle system is very accessible and easily removable allowing free access for thorough cleaning.’

New concept
The French Food Safety Agency (AFSSA) has published a new study which assessed the performance of the new blending system used in the Smasher from AES CHEMUNEX against the long established blending system introduced many years ago. In a comprehensive study using 150 samples there were two main objectives:
- Test the contamination homogeneity of a chicken carcase in order to validate its use as a sample to make the comparative study between conventional and Smasher blenders.
- Test the Smasher at different blending durations vs. conventional blending device with homogeneously contaminated samples. The results showed that the new paddle system in the Smasher took only 15-30 seconds to achieve the same standard of blend as that achieved by the old system in 1-2 minutes.
The AES CHEMUNEX Smasher has been welcomed by many food microbiology laboratories since its launch over 12 months ago. Its patented 'smash' effect first crushes the sample in record time and then automatically adjusts the speed to ensure a perfect homogenisation of the enrichment broth.
In the case of difficult samples (hard or voluminous samples) the machine automatically resets the paddles position and retries powerfully several times. The operator does not need to reposition the blender bag. Particular attention has been taken to guarantee efficient cleaning and disinfection.

It has a leak proof chamber with integrated waste drawer. The blender can be tilted it back at 45° if required for improved access. A new improvement allows the user to remove the paddies within two seconds without any tool!
Last, but not least, Smasher is about 20 times quieter than all other bag blenders available on the market.
