Equipments

Diamidex has developed two extremely innovative product lines for the accelerated detection of microorganisms, whether pathogenic or used as indicators (coliform or bioburden).

Mini-Lab

A pocket-size incubator for the C4Hydro WaterTest range

MICA

Our high-end automated microcolony counter

MICA Advance

with automatic loader
Up to 250 analyses per 8 hour period

Mini-Lab

Our Pocket Size Incubator 

Water test is intended for portable testing needs and consists of a ready-to-use kit.

The Mini-Lab revolution ? Thanks to its pocket-sized incubator, which is no bigger than a smartphone, it makes it possible for bacteria to multiply in temperature conditions that are ideal for their growth. Used by laboratories, this technology is the most reliable technology for accurately measuring bacteria concentration in a water sample.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which types of test can I use the Mini-Lab with?
The Mini-Lab can be used with all Refill tests of the Water Test range. The Mini-Lab cannot perform analysis on its own.
Is the Mini-LAB reusable?

Yes, the Mini-Lab is reusable to carry out other analyses. It is compatible with all refill kits of the Water Test range.

Mini-Lab Datasheet

Contents of the Mini-Lab

  • One 110-240V – 50/60Hz incubator with a power cable and plug
  • One 50 mL syringe + stopper
  • One 10 mL syringe with connector
  • One 1 mL syringe with connector
  • One instruction leaflet

The incubator does not show a continuous green light. What should I do? 

In the event of a fault in the incubator, contact us.
The table below describes the meaning of the warning lights:

Colour of the LED

Meaning

Action

The LED flashes blue

The incubation temperature has not been reached after 30 minutes

The ambient temperature of the room is too cold. The incubator must be used in a warmer environment.

 

The LED flashes red

Operational problem.
The incubator will not heat up.

The incubator must be replaced.

 

The LED flashes green

The temperature of the incubator is increasing.

If you unplug the incubator, it is normal for the LED to flash. When the incubator is at the correct temperature, the LED will be static green.

 

Our Micro Colony Counter

MICA

MICA is intended for industrial companies wishing to control their manufacturing process, or for microbiological analysis laboratories (in-house or service providers).

}

RAPID

Fast-result with a full-field in focus scanning & enhanced image processing.

SENSITIVE

Extremely precise detection area on the membrane with a high optical quality.

COMPACT

HD Screen to guide you through the analysis protocol. No need to connect the counter to a computer. Fits into a Biosafety cabinet.

RELIABLE

All MICA testing protocols are based on the culture reference protocols dedicated to the usual enumeration of the targeted microorganisms.
