Deltamune (www.deltamune.co.za) is a world-class company that offers a totally integrated health service for the veterinary industry. Deltamune works with veterinarians in different animal production sectors to develop tailor-made specific solutions for their client’s animal health requirements in the area of laboratory services and in the manufacture of specialised vaccines. This specialised range includes registered vaccines, as well as customised vaccines for specific disease problems. Deltamune provide a comprehensive health service that extends into diagnostics, health, hygiene and feed- and food safety monitoring. The test laboratory is ISO 17025 approved for certain techniques and methods.
To fulfil their large and growing need for bacterial growth media and reagent production, Deltamune elected to invest in a state-of-the-art automated media production unit to ensure that all quality standards for reliable results were met. With around 1600 media plates required on a daily basis, Deltamune selected the Integra Biosciences’ MEDIAJET 540, an automatic petri dish filler that provides truly reliable, walk away operation using a proven mechanical dish guidance system, monitored by a set of sensors throughout the filling process. The unit was installed by Labotec, local suppliers for the Integra Biosciences range, who also installed Integra’s MEDIACLAVE, a nutrient media steriliser, which guarantees the gentle and rapid preparation of both standard and highly sensitive nutrient media.
