FAQ's of Antibiotic Zone Reader:
Q: How does the Antibiotic Zone Reader help in antibiotic sensitivity testing?
A: The Digital Antibiotic Zone Reader measures the diameter of zones of inhibition around antibiotic discs on agar plates. Accurate zone size assessment is crucial for determining the effectiveness of antibiotics against specific microorganisms.
Q: What is the process for using this zone reader in a laboratory?
A: Place the prepared agar plate with antibiotic diffusion on the measuring stage, ensuring it fits within the 150 mm maximum diameter. The built-in 3X magnifier lens and digital LED display allow for accurate manual or digital measurement of the zone diameter by aligning the scale with the inhibition zone's edge.
Q: When should I calibrate the Antibiotic Zone Reader?
A: Calibration is recommended before initial use, after any maintenance, or if discrepancies in measurements are noticed. Easy calibration ensures continued measurement precision, vital for reliable test results.
Q: Where can this equipment be used most effectively?
A: This zone reader is best suited for microbiology laboratories, research institutions, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and clinical diagnostic centers requiring precise antibiotic sensitivity measurements.
Q: What benefits does the digital model offer over manual readers?
A: The digital model provides higher precision (0.1 mm least count), easier readings with LED display, and enhanced repeatability. The included magnifier lens and simple calibration reduce human error, while digital controls streamline data collection.
Q: How does the built-in magnifier lens improve usage?
A: The in-built 3X magnification lens enhances visibility of the zone edges, making it easier for users to identify and measure even faint inhibition zones accurately, thus improving overall result reliability.
Q: What are the main features ensuring durability and ease of maintenance?
A: The reader's construction uses a powder-coated mild steel body and stainless steel measurement components, ensuring resistance to corrosion and laboratory wear. The robust design, along with easy calibration and minimal maintenance needs, ensures longevity and dependable operation.
