Eurofins Scientific optimizes culture media preparation with RAYPA technology

Discover the experience of Luis Fernando Portillo Pedraza in the microbiology division and the benefits of the AE-MP Series media preparator

In the competitive world of microbiological analysis laboratories, efficiency and precision are crucial. Eurofins Scientific, a global leader in analytical and scientific-technical services, has found in media preparators a key solution to optimize their workflow. In an exclusive interview, Luis Fernando Portillo Pedraza, Production Manager of the microbiology laboratory at Eurofins in Madrid, shares his experience and the benefits this technology has brought to his team.

With over 16 years of experience in microbiological analysis and quality control, Luis explains how the use of RAYPA media preparators have transformed his laboratory. "RAYPA media preparators have an excellent quality-price ratio," he states. This technology has enabled his team to prepare large volumes of peptone water, an essential culture medium in their assays, more economically and efficiently.

Before acquiring the media preparator, Eurofins managed multiple bags of peptone water, which involved high costs, more handling time, and contamination risks. With the media preparator, they can prepare up to 36 liters of medium per cycle, significantly reducing the time and effort of the technical staff. Additionally, they minimize the risk of contamination by reducing the handling of multiple bags and improve productivity by not needing refrigerated storage space for the bags.

Luis also highlights the simplicity and efficiency of the equipment: "The learning curve was quick and comfortable for the technicians, and the equipment is very easy to handle." The ability to prepare large volumes and the rapid dispensing of culture media has significantly improved their daily assay capacity.
