new sealer plus copyIDEXX, the global leader in rapid microbiological testing for water, today announced the European launch of the Quanti-Tray Sealer PLUS, a next-generation instrument that automates sample handling for bacterial enumeration. The Quanti-Tray Sealer PLUS provides increased productivity through improved functionality when compared to its predecessor.

The Quanti-Tray Sealer PLUS is used with Quanti-Tray and Quanti-Tray 2000, in conjunction with IDEXX’s Colilert and Coliert-18 tests, Pseudalert and Enterolert, to quantify bacterial testing results for coliforms, E. coli, enterococci, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa respectively.

The new model warms up 80% faster than the current model, can process more trays without interruption and offers easy access for quick cleaning. The Quanti-Tray Sealer PLUS also features a new sleep mode, which allows customers to start testing sooner and also improves work flow by sealing each tray up to 20% faster.

“The Quanti-Tray Sealer PLUS demonstrates IDEXX Water’s ongoing commitment to providing innovative new solutions for rapid, accurate testing of water,” commented Andrew Headland, Senior Business Manager, EMEA, IDEXX Water division. “The improvements in this next-generation sealer mean that our customers can benefit from increased speed, efficiency and accuracy when employing IDEXX tests.”
