ZENITH-INSPI series inspissators provide valuable resource to tuberculosis detection and treatment labs. Media containers, bottles, petri dishes, tubes with culture medium can be inspissated quickly and effectively in large batches.

Two different models of our inspissators (INSPI-MAX and INSPI-S) are capable of inspissating from 170 to over 700 McCartney bottles in a single load. The INSPI-MAX has three trays that can load anywhere from 250 to 700 bottles during one run and has been designed for repositories and hospitals which handle large samples. For smaller labs, INSPI-S can inspissate up to 170 bottles in one load.

model ZEN-INSPI-MAX
The INSPI-MAX has three trays that can load anywhere from 250 to 700 bottles during one run and has been designed for repositories and hospitals which handle large samples.

Built of rust-proof stainless steel sheet.
Inside chamber, body and water bath made of stainless steel.

Inside chamber: 25” (width) x 21” (depth) x 32” (height).
Outside body: 29” x 25” x 52”. With heavy duty roller wheels.

Three stainless steel wired trays are provided to hold media bottles. These trays are removable from main unit for easy loading of media bottles. Trays are positioned at an angle of 20 degree approx. to provide slope to media.

Inspissating capacity of 3” x 1” (approx. size) of McCartney media bottles is about 450 bottles in three trays with single layer of bottles in each tray. Capacity can be increased to 600 by loading more bottles in each tray in two-three layers. Bottles are at angle of about 20 degree.

Two water heaters: 2 kW each (total 4 kW) running at 220VAC, 50Hz.

Two spare heaters are additionally provided for emergency use in case of failure of one of the working heaters.

T emperature range is from 5 C above ambient temperature to 95 C. Temperature is settable by the user. Accuracy of inner temperature is better than 2 C. Least count of controller is 1 C. Sensor used is Pt100.

model ZEN-INSPI-S
Designed for smaller labs, INSPI-S can inspissate up to 170 bottles in one load.

Built of rust-proof stainless steel sheet. Outer body and tray are made of stainless steel. Tray size: 31” x 24” (80x60cm). Outer body: 41” x 26” x 16” (104x65x40cm)

A single tray of stainless steel is immersed in water such that the water just touches the bottom of the tray.

The tray has a set of slopes to provide an angle of 8-10 degree to the media containers. Water temperature is maintained through a heater and stirrer.

The tray also heats up to the water temperature and temperature uniformity is maintained in the water, tray and media containers. The total heat up time is less than 2.5 hours.

For user and operation safety, we provide fixed cut-out fuse and miniature circuit breaker at the back of the controller unit..

The controller is digital, with an LED/LCD display to indicate set and actual temperature. User input is taken through a dial and button.

Resolution is 0.1C, uniformity is better than 0.5C and working temperature is 85C.

Temperature range for the controller is from ambient plus 5C to 90C. The controller is a composite unit of 1.5kW heater, controller, sensor and stirrer. It is easily removable for servicing.

We also provide two spare heaters for emergency use in case of failure of the working heater during usage.

A constant water level setup ensures that the heaters never run dry and that evaporation losses are compensated. Tank capacity is about 50 litres.
