Dispensing options
Ideal complement for microbiology laboratories.
Automates the filling of 101 to 241 Petri dishes (Ø60 or Ø90 mm) with dispensing volumes from 1 to 1000 mL, ensuring safety and sterility. Compatible with Petri dish labeling systems.
Automate the dispensing of medium and large volumes.
Precise and high-speed system (65–100 mL/s), featuring an intuitive touchscreen interface and advanced programming. Its design allows the dispensing line to pass through barriers, making it ideal for sterile environments.
Included as standard in all media preparators to automate the dispensing of small and medium volumes.
Maximize flow rate by installing additional pumps, reaching between 7 and 33 mL/s depending on tube size and the number of peristaltic pumps installed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a media preparator and an autoclave?
A media preparator not only sterilizes but also automatically prepares, mixes, cools, and dispenses culture media.
An autoclave only sterilizes already prepared materials.
How does the TLV-MP Series differ from the AE-MP Series?
It also offers higher performance options compared to the AE-MP Series.
What sizes and capacities are available?
We offer models with capacities ranging from 1 L to 90 L, available in benchtop or floor-standing configurations with casters to suit any laboratory size.
How long does a full cycle take?
Depending on volume and media type, a complete cycle including preparation, sterilization, and cooling typically takes approximately 60 to 120 minutes.
Can it be used only as an autoclave without preparing media?
Yes. With the autoclave conversion kit, the TLV-MP Series can sterilize liquids, media, plastics, glassware, metals, and waste bags. Simply remove the agitation system, install the required accessories (racks and baskets, depending on the model), configure the sterilization parameters, and run the cycle.
What types of culture media can be prepared?
A media preparator is used to prepare and sterilize a wide variety of solid and liquid media commonly used in microbiology and plant tissue culture.
These include peptone water, lysogeny broth (LB), Murashige and Skoog media, Linsmaier and Skoog, Gamborg media, tryptic soy agar (TSA), chocolate agar, MacConkey agar, Sabouraud agar, and Drosophila feed.
It also enables the preparation of specialized media such as charcoal agar, which does not require pre-swelling, or blood agar, with programmable cycles that allow blood to be added after sterilization. Additionally, it facilitates the incorporation of heat-sensitive nutrients or antibiotics after the thermal process.
Are RAYPA media preparators compatible with high-viscosity media?
Yes, the TLV-MP Series can be adapted to handle high-viscosity media using accessories such as the high-viscosity paddle system. We also offer customized solutions, such as the TURBO-MP Series.
Contact our team to find the most suitable solution for your application.
Can it be integrated with LIMS or private servers?
Yes. It is compatible with any LIMS that supports integration via HTTP API, such as INTEGRIS LIMS.
Thanks to the RAYPAcloud platform and Docker compatibility, it can also be integrated with Active Directory or private servers, ensuring full data traceability and security.
What are the installation requirements?
Installation requirements depend on the selected configuration, so we recommend consulting the installation guide. In most cases, we recommend using our closed-loop water supply and management system, which ensures a stable flow even without a direct water connection, reuses process water, and optimizes consumption while minimizing waste.
