and microaerophilic microorganisms 

as well as for filling 

with CO2 

• Manometer for monitoring 

vacuum or positive pressure 

-1 to + 0.2 bar 

• two valves for evacuation and 

filling with gas 

• anaerobic conditions by evacuating 

and flushing with gas 

• reaching anaerobic conditions 

through flushing, e.g. with 

nitrogen 

• reaching anaerobic conditions 

through chemical reduction of 

oxygen 

Environment 

The covers of the jars are manufactured 

from Polyvinylchloride 

(PVC) and are equipped with 

valves to fill with gas and to 

evacuate as well as a manometer 

to monitor the pressure from 

- 1 to + 0.2 bar. 

To reach anaerobic conditions two 

valves serve for evacuation and 

for filling the jar with the desired 

gas. Oxygen can also be reduced 

chemically (e.g. AnerobGen TM ). 

Special covers are available on 

request for cultivation at high 

temperatures.

Small in size, but great 

in design and technology 

Activate with sensor by moving 

your hand in front of the display 

or choose operation by footswitch: 

Sensor operation - precise flame 

ignition 

The sensitivity of the IR-Sensor 

(touch-free) may be set accurately 

in order to activate the burner 

with the movement of a hand or a 

pipette/inoculating loop. The gas 

supply automatically cuts off after 

the adjustable preset time ranging 

from 1 sec to 99 min has elapsed 

and the flame stops. 

Adjustable sensor distance 

(0-80 mm) 

The distance is digitally and 

continuously adjustable, 

32 individual steps. 

Foot-switch, mode 1 

Gas supply and electronic ignition 

are activated automatically. The 

flame only comes on while pressing 

the foot-switch and is thereby 

permanently under control. As 

soon as the foot-switch is released, 

the gas supply is cut off and 

the flame stops immediately. 


The flame comes on when pressing 

the foot-switch once and 

stops after pressing the footswitch 

again or the preset time 

has elapsed. 

Large display - easy 

self-explanatory operation 

A clearly readable, lighted display 

provides highest comfort and 

easy menu navigation. 

Clever design - 

facilitates work: 

All controls for gas and air supply 

as well as the multifunctional 

control for the remaining modes 

of operation are clearely and 

conveniently located on the 

front panel of the device. 

Tilting 

A bracket underneath the schuett 

phoenix allows for tilting to both 

sides (suitable for left and righthander). 

This facilitates flamesterilizing 

of e.g. bottlenecks. 

The risk of spilling liquids into the 

burner is minimized. 

Foot-switch, stainless steel 

May be used in 2 operation 

modes. Made of high-quality 

stainless steel. Round. Easy and 

safe all over access by foot. 

Slip-proof and stable. 

Foot-switch 

Continuous operation 

Ideal for use in continuous mode. 

No heating up of the device. 

Integrated instrument tray 

Inoculating loops and tweezers 

may comfortably rest on the integrated 

instrument tray for cooling. 

Burner head 

Easy removal without need for 

tools.

No more trouble with the flame 

You may rely on the flame of the 

schuett phoenix: 

Flame monitoring 

Should the flame inadvertently 

extinguish, a safety feature will 

provide for automatic re-ignition 

no interruption of your work. 

Ignition monitoring 

The gas supply automatically cuts 

off as soon as the automatic 

(re-)ignition fails for more than 

10 seconds to produce a flame. 

The digital display shows the 

a clear fault report. 

Continuous flame supervision 

Should the flame extinguish due 

to e.g. spilled liquids and cannot 

be re-ignited, the gas supply automatically 

cuts off. The digital 

display shows a clear fault report. 

Controlled burn-time 

Digital and exact to the second 

adjustable (1 sec…99 min), safety 

cut-off after 99 minutes in continuous 

mode. 

Turning the multifunctional control 

to the left hand side decreases 

the burn-time, turning to the right 

causes an increase. The preset 

time is stored until the setting is 

changed again (memory function). 

Clear information - high ease of operation 

The digital display keeps 

you updated: 

Continuous display of the actual 

remaining burn-time (1sec to 99 min 59 

sec), counting backwards. 



Sensitivity of the sensor 

Ergonomic controls: 

Gas and air supply control 

Always on your side 

schuett phoenix - reliably and 

safely conducts your work: 

Overheating protection 

Even in continuous mode, the burner 

head temperature never 

exceeds 60 °C. 

Stable flame, even in laminar flow 

cabinets with strong air currents 

The gas outlet and the sparking 

electrodes are technically arranged 

inside the burner head in 

order to provide a stable flame 

even in strong air currents. 

Drain for liquids 

Liquids accidentally entering the 

burner head are drained via a 

special outlet. 

Clogging of the air regulation is 

not possible due to its advanced 

design. 

Gas input filter 

A special filter prevents particles 

from entering the burner. 

Certified safety 

schuett phoenix meets the latest 

safety regulations such as DIN 

30665 chapter 1 and has been 

registered under DIN-DVGWcertificate 

NG-2211AR0750. 

Gas saving features 

Adjustment of the burn-time as 

needed exact to the second. The 

precisely set flame considerably 

reduces the gas consumption. 

Multifunctional control.

Flame sterilizing carousel 

Flame sterilizing carousel 

- Rotation und inoculating 

happen automatically 

- No need for cooling down of 

inoculating loops in agar 

- Sterilizing time adjustable 

Ideal for flame sterilization of 

inoculating loops in combination 

with an optional gas-safety-burner 

(e.g. schuett phoenix). 

For working in safety cabinets, our 

device guarantees high working 

comfort as well as highest safety 

standards. 

All control elements are clearly 

located at the front panel of the 

device. Accurate flame sterilizing 

adjustment according to type of 

inoculating loop. Minimizes the 

gas consumption and increases 

the longevity of the inoculating 

loops. 

The inoculating loop is placed into 

the carousel after use and automatically 

moved to the burner 

where it is flame sterilized. 

If need is, the five inoculating 

loops may be flame sterilized one 

after another in rotation by the 

push of a button. The flame sterilizing 

time is infinitely adjustable 

from 2 to 10 seconds. 

There is always a sterile, cooled 

inoculating loop available. There 

is no risk of contaminating the 

inoculating loop or the agar while 

cooling. 

The switch contacts are free of 

wear and are safely situated 

inside the housing. Impairment of 

serviceability due to soiling or 

stray light is therefore excluded.

schuett count manual colony counter

schuett count 

schuett count 

colony counter 

Usually, the most time-consuming 

part in microbial analysis is counting 

Petri dishes. The schuett 

count colony counter was designed 

to facilitate this task considerably 

and will become essential 

equipment in your microbiological 

laboratory. 

Easy, rapid and reliable counting 

of bacterial colonies is no longer 

trouble when using this device. 

The schuett count colony counter 

is suitable for reliable and efficient 

counting of 

• bacterial colonies growing on 

nutrient agar in Petri dishes of 60 

to 150 mm diameter 

• bacterial colonies growing on 

filter disks/agar or nutrient disks 

• phage plaques growing on 

agar 

Transparent medium or filter 

disks/agar: two special adapters 

for inserting Petri dishes allow for 

ideal height positioning of the dishes 

in order to reach optimum 

lateral illumination. 

The power supply provides an 

automatic line/mains supply 

identification 100-240 VAC compensating 

short voltage breakdowns. 

• three modes of illumination: 

- from below 

- from the side and 

- from top (optional) 

• Petri dishes or nutrient disks 

with 

- Ø 90 mm 

- Ø 60 mm or Ø 150 mm 

(optional) 

• high transparency of colonies 

reached by LED-light source, 

practically no heat transferred 

to the sample 

• light intensity, pressure sensitivity 

for count and acoustical 

counting signal adjustable 

• average determination 

• data transfer via USB to the 

PC 

The schuett count may be used 

for a large variety of applications 

where microbial checks are needed: 

• in bacteriology 

• in dairy and beverage industry 

• in Medical Test Centres 

• in Quality Control for water 

treatment plants 

• in food and environmental 

analytics 

The counter is initiated by marking 

the colonies with an ordinary 

felt-tip marker pen. 

The Petri dish holder is pressure 

sensitive. Already a gentle touch 

of the Petri dish with the pen 

generates a count. 

The result is clearly shown on a 

large 4-digit LED-display (0-9999) 

with reset feature. 

A well-organized and easy to 

clean keypad allows for nearly 

infinite, reproducible adjustment 

(for each operator) of pressure 

sensitivity, light intensity and 

acoustical count signal. The corresponding 

level of sensitivity is 

shown in the digital display. 

The count signal acoustically confirms 

the count of a colony. 

Correction of counting mistakes is 

easily possible by adding or subtracting 

with the arrow keys. 

When counting high numbers of 

colonies, the optional Wolffhügeldisk 

facilitates the segmenting in 

the bright or the dark field. 

A black contrast disk for working 

in dark fields is included in the 

delivery extent.

Illumination of colonies 

Illumination of colonies 

State-of-the-art light technology 

allows for circularly illuminating 

the colonies from the side resulting 

in a transparency and differentiation 

of the colonies never 

possible before. 

There is no stray light or blinding, 

which is usually a problem when 

using fluorescent lamps. 

In addition, the dimming feature 

allows for adjusting the light 

intensity to the needs of the user 

and accounts for surrounding light 

inside the lab. 

A natural colour reproduction facilitates 

differentiation between 

various coloured cultures growing 

on chromogenic medium and filter/nutrient 

disks. 

The state-of-the-art illumination 

provides such a contrast that agar 

plates, with colonies growing on 

and inside the agar may easily be 

counted. 

As a result, eyestrain is reduced 

30 to a minimum allowing for 

extended periods of uninterrupted 

work. 

The entire illumination consumes 

only 3 Watts producing practically 

no heat. 

Choose individually the ideal 

mode of illumination according to 

the medium. 

Use the bright background for 

dark colonies or the black contrast 

disk for light colonies.

Illumination from below 

Three modes of illumination 

1) Illumination from below 

White colonies growing in and on 

clear agar are illuminated from 

below in order to avoid 

reflections. 

The glarefree illumination facilitates 

the counting of the colonies 

especially at the rim of the Petri 

dish. 

Differentiation between colonies 

and air bubbles inside the agar is 

possible without any difficulties. 

Furthermore, the light source 

allows for the correct identification 

of mucus secreting colonies 

and observing the decrease of turbidity 

caused by calcium carbonate 

inside the agar when working 

with acid producing microorganisms. 

Illumination from the side 

2) Illumination from the side 

For colonies growing on filter 

disks and on non-transparent 

agar, the illumination from the 

side has been developed. 

Transparent colonies are mostly 

3-dimensional. 

Accurate colour reproduction of 

the colonies in the bright and dark 

field is reached, so that an incredible 

ease of work is reached for 

all agar media where a colour differentiation 

of various colony 

colours is requested. 

The direct lateral illumination in 

conjunction with the white light 

spectrum of the LEDs lights up, 

colonies than may hardly be seen 

in the reflecting light of flourescent 

lamps. 

Illumination from top 

3) Illumination from top (optional) 

For colonies with a very low contrast 

to the background and colonies 

growing on dark agar, we 

optionally offer a LED-top light 

lamp for connection to the standard 

schuett count manual colony 

counter. 

The top light lamp is equipped 

with a flexible gooseneck and illuminates 

the complete Petri dish. It 

is especially suggested for counting 

very small colonies.

Average determination 

Average determination 

For serial tests, the schuett count 

may show the average by push of 

a button. 

Up to 99 values with a total of 

max. 32,500 colonies may be 

evaluated. 

USB-data transfer 

USB-data transfer 

schuett count provides a USBinterface, 

which may transfer the 

counting result directly to an 

Excel-chart or field of the analysis 

report. 

Ergonomically shaped 

Ergonomically optimized 

The inclination of the instrument´s 

working surface is optimized for 

the operator, so that the Petri dish 

is positioned as horizontally as 

possible without forcing the user 

to bend over the instrument. 

The convenient width of the 

schuett count allows for positioning 

both hands onto the instrument 

without blocking additional 

working space. 

These construction features support 

easy and comfortable work. 

Due to the compact construction, 

the schuett count only requires 

little space. 

The housing is easy to clean.

• In conformity with GLP 

schuett colonyQuant is the economic solution for 

evaluating Petri dishes at high demand on daily sample 

throughput rates. Image acquisition and analysing the 

colonies at the push of a button. Changeover from 

evaluating agar plates to nutrient filter disks etc. can be 

effected quickly by mouse-click without difficulties. 

Multifunctional and time-saving 

Time-saving 

Significantly increases efficiency 

compared to manual evaluation of 

the colonies. 

400 Petri dishes per hour, independent 

of 10 or 1,000 colonies 

growing on the agar plate. 

No counting errors as they occur 

with declining concentration 

when counting manually. 

Universal 

schuett colonyQuant was 

designed for Quality Control in 

food, beverage and pharmaceutical 

industries, in microbiological 

test labs and in water analysis. 

The system may be set and 

calibrated to different types of 

colonies and agars/nutrient disks 

within minutes. 

The reasoned software in German 

and English language helps analysing 

and differentiating colonies 

by colour, size and shape. 

The settings may be changed at 

any time according to the users 

request and the system shows the 

effects on the counting result 

immediately. The original image, 

the evaluated image as well as 

the set parameters may be stored 

and re-opened at any time by 

using the file name. 

The Windows based structure of 

the software/icons makes it easy 

for the operator to comprehend 

the system’s functions. 

The device centres Petri dishes 

Ø 60 to Ø 90 mm exactly and 

reproducible. 

The camera automatically zooms 

to ensure that also Ø 60 mm Petri 

dishes are evaluated with high 

resolution.

Facilitates Quality Control 

State-of-the-art LED-lighting 

technology assures a lateral 

illumination of the Petri dish and 

results in so far unknown transparency 

and differentiation of the 

colonies on the agar. 

Nutrient disks are illuminated 

from above for maximum contrast 

and colour differentiation. 

Spiral plating dishes are counted 

automatically in consideration of 

the counting grid. 

Inhibition zones are analysed 

clockwise. The results are 

presented in a table exportable 

to Excel-format. 

Data storage 

The original image and the 

evaluated image are stored 

digitally, all relevant data of the 

analysis is automatically stored 

for later re-evaluation. 

An analysis report may be printed, 

the user may decide which 

individual parameters need to 

be printed. Elimination of 

transcription errors. All data may 

be exported to a LIMS-system. 

Efficient 

The counting settings are to be 

adjusted only once for each type 

of colony. The area to be counted 

is defined prior to analysis. 

If the edges of the Petri dish are 

difficult to evaluate, the software 

counts 90% of the Petri dish and 

calculates the total number of 

colonies. The software also 

allows for counting individual 

quarters of the total area. 

Counting different colonies simultaneously 

After entering the appropriate 

volume and dilution, the colonies 

per ml are calculated 

automatically. 

The counting result may be 

corrected manually at any time by 

using the "Add"/"Delete"-function. 

Criteria for differentiation (may be 

combined as needed). 

Colour: 

The differentiation of coloured 

colonies (e.g. flavine containing 

or colouring by chromogenic, 

selective agar) compared to 

colourless colonies may be 

obtained by defining the actual 

intensity-spectrum of the 

corresponding colour. In total 

there is a maximum of eight different 

colour gradients to be set. 

This means blue and red colonies 

may be counted simultaneously 

on one Petri dish and the result 

will show the total of blue colonies 

or the total of red colonies 

and total count of both. 

Size: 

The differentiation of colonies 

with different sizes is also 

possible, e.g. large colonies may 

be differentiated from the background 

growth. 

The minimum colony size for 

counting is 0.1 mm. 

Shape: 

By differentiating colonies 

according to their shape you 

may define the roundness of the 

colonies to be counted This is helpful 

for analysing bacterial colonies 

on agar plates in the presence 

of moulds or precipitates of the 

same colour. 

Copes with all challenges 

Overlapping: 

The split function allows for 

gradually separating overlapping 

colonies. 

This is particularly advantageous 

with Petri dishes having a large 

number of colonies or with bigger 

colonies. 

In conformity with GLP 

All sensitive areas are password 

protected. The software is 

structured in three levels: 

• administrator 

• controller 

• operator 

The administrator may decide 

which counting parameters are to 

be addressed by the operator. 

Name of the operator, batch and 

sample number are automatically 

stored with the result of the 

analysis. 

Provision for system check with a 

coloured disk (provided with the 

system) and reset function to 

recall manufacturer provided base 

settings.

Total numbers of colonies 

Enterobacteria 

Data and facts 

Typical applications: 

Total number of colonies: All colonies will be counted, also those being significantly different in colour, size and 

shape. 

Enterobacteria: E. coli colonies growing on LB-agar are of a light cream colour not much different from the 

transparent slightly yellow colour of the agar itself and are even difficult to identify for the human eye. These 

colonies can easily be counted with the lateral LED-illumination of the schuett colonyQuant. 

Nutrient/filter disks: Colonies growing on nutrient-/filter disks are perfectly lighted from above. The grid being 

shown on the surface of the nutrient disk will be ignored by the software and does not affect the counting result. 

Chromogenic agar: Colonies of a particular colour can be separated from others by setting the colour 

characteristics of the software accordingly. 

High number of colonies: schuett colonyQuant identifies and counts all those colonies that are able to be 

identified by the human eye as well (up to approx. 1,000 per Petri dish) – within seconds, reproducible and ready 

to be processed or stored. 

Bacteriophage plaque assays: By using the dark field it is feasible to count bacteriophage plaques against a cell 

background. 

Inhibition zones: For the analysis of inhibition zones all diameters and areas will be measured and shown in a 

corresponding table. This table is displayed together with the visual image of the Petri dish. The counting starts 

clockwise in the 12 o'clock position. 

Agar: cloudy/clear, all colours. 

Coloured, cloudy agar: colonies growing on dark agar media are evaluated with top lighting. 

Spiral plater: Automated evaluation of spiral plating dishes. 

Ames test: Even very small colonies may be counted. 

Agar pour plates: lighting from below.

VARICON 

VARICON 

Variable pipette containers 

This economically-priced pipette 

container is made of two overlapping 

aluminium parts. 

According to the length of the 

pipettes the lid can be slid over 

the lower part, so that pipettes of 

different volume can be sterilized 

and stored. 

That means only one container 

size is needed for all standard 

pipettes of 280 to 420 mm length 

and only one size for all short or 

pasteur pipettes of 145 to 235 

mm length. 

Pipette tip racks 

Various racks for the insertion of 

blue, yellow and crystal pipette 

tips in UNICON 3. After the sterilization, 

the tips can easily be 

taken from the racks. 

The arrangement of the tips even 

makes it possible to take them 

with a multi-channel pipette.

Cuvettes 

Small Vessel Rinser and Storage Container

VAKUWASCH 

VAKUWASCH 

Cuvette and small vessel rinser 

• cleans and dries glass vessels 

within seconds 

• easy handling 

VAKUWASCH simply solves the 

problem of cleaning or drying 

used glass vessels within 

seconds. 

This procedure saves time and 

increases the accuracy of measuring, 

e.g. with cuvettes. 

VAKUWASCH cleans and dries 

vessels or cuvettes in one step. 

This cleaning method avoids cullets 

or damage. 

VAKUWASCH is made of polyethylene 

is practically unbreakable. 

The device is resistant to all 

detergents and solvents of daily 

use. 

To operate VAKUWASCH all you 

need is a vacuum flask (with rubber 

stopper with bore whole and 

a vacuum tube) and a low vacuum. 

The content of the cuvette and 

the rinsing water are transported 

into the vacuum bottle which is 

very advantageous when using 

radioactive materials or toxic substances. 

The funnel of the VAKUWASCH 

provides in its centre a plunger 

with a rubber plate and a central 

nozzle. 

Put the vessel to be cleaned with 

its opening onto the rubber plate 

and hold it there. After connecting 

the vacuum, pour approx. 10 ml of 

distilled water into the funnel. 

Immediately, a heavy jet of water 

will shoot against the vessel's 

bottom and drain next to the nozzle. 

Naturally, you may use detergents 

or other cleaning agents as well. 

After draining of the water, insert 

few drops of acetone into the funnel. 

By carefully pressing the vessel's 

bottom, a vacuum creates a 

sharp air stream, which dries the 

vessel within seconds.

Homogenisation with Perfection

Definition 

Homogenisation is the thorough 

mixing of two components of one 

system that are immiscible by 

their nature. 

Common application in microbiology 

is resuspending of cell pellets 

and disruption of cell clots 

and cell tissue. 

Applications 

1. Homogenisation 

of two indissoluble liquids, 

e.g. creating emulsions 

2. Mixing of solids 

into liquids, e.g. creating 

suspensions 

3. Separating bacteria or yeast 

cells 

from the culture medium 

by centrifugation or resuspending, 

e.g. washing with 

buffers 

4. Splitting bacteria or yeast cell 

clots, 

e.g. for chemical cell 

disruption 

5. Splitting united cell structures, 

sensitive material, 

e.g. cell culture, liver etc. 

6. Splitting united cell structures, 

tough material, 

e.g. muscle, bowel, skin, plant 

tissue 

Complete disruption into individual 

cells through homogenisation 

can only be guaranteed for sensitive 

material (cell culture, liver tissue, 

plant tissue etc.). Frequently, 

homogenisation serves as a preparation 

step for chemical (detergents), 

enzymatic or mechanical 

cell disruption. 

Please contact us for mechanical 

cell disruption systems (French 

Press System, BioNeb System, 

Ultrasonic systems etc.). 

Homogenisation highly increases 

the effect of cell disruption and 

reduces the residence time of 

chemicals or enzymes. 

What do you need for 

homogenisation? 

schuett homgen plus 

Powered drive-unit at high-torque, 

in which you may clamp the 

pestle. 

The homogenising vessel is tightly 

clamped into the cooling vessel 

on the lifting table. 

During homogenisation, the table 

may easily be lifted up and down 

with a lever. This assures powerful 

homogenisation for the up and 

down movement without any 

effort from the user. 

Pestle 

We offer a wide range of pestles 

made of teflon, glass-fibre reinforced 

teflon, glass, polypropy-lene 

or stainless steel in cylindrical or 

tapered shape. 

Homogenising vessel 

We offer glass vessels where the 

inner diameter has highest fitting 

accuracy. Vessels are available 

for capacities of 2-40 ml.

Semi-automatic homogeniser 

schuett homgen plus 


• for tough tissue that is 

difficult to homogenize 

• high-torque drive-unit, up to 

3,000 rpm 

• vibration-free with robust 

3-support-construction 

• convenient cooling of the 

samples with ice 

• including quick-grip clamp for 

EPPENDORF ® test tubes 

schuett homgen plus consists of a 

speed-stabilized drive-unit and a 

cooling vessel with an universal 

quick-grip chuck. Suitable for all 

common homogenisers of different 

sizes. 

Its strong performance in a highspeed 

zone guarantees perfect 

homogenisation, even when using 

very small homogenisers 

(EPPENDORF ® -scale). 

The high-torque drive-unit of the 

schuett homgen plus makes it very 

suitable for use at low speeds. 

schuett homgen plus combines 

excellent physical stability with 

comfortable handling and smooth 

running properties. 

Versatile 

Adjustment in height and the locking 

of the drive-unit are 

continuously variable, so that an 

adjustment to homogenising 

vessels/pestles of various 

manufacturers is easily possible. 

The fast-action clamping chuck 

with hollow shaft permits rapid 

and easy replacement of the pestle 

and permits use of pestles with 

longer shafts. 

schuett homgen plus is also suitable 

for hand-held homogenisers or 

EPPENDORF ® reaction vessels. 

Furthermore, the use as a highperformance 

agitator is possible.


Comfortable and safe 

The lever arm moves the table up 

and down together with the 

cooling vessel and the tightly 

clamped homogenising vessel. 

The lifting mechanism assures 

safe and comfortable work, both 

with tough and sensitive homogenising 

tasks. 

The cooling vessel offers additional 

working safety in the case of 

glass-breakage or when using 

pathogen materials. 

Speed-stabilized 

schuett homgen plus is speedstabilized 

with an electronic 

rotational speed-control 

variable from 40 to 3,000 rpm. 

The speed is infinitely variable 

and remains constant, independent 

of load changes when homogenising. 

The standard integrated 

4-digit LED-display makes reproducible 

homogenising possible. 

Cooling Vessel 

The transparent cooling vessel 

allows permanent monitoring of 

the homogenisation and guarantees 

high working safety. 

schuett homgen plus is suitable for 

homogenising sensitive botanical 

material, animal tissue, anorganic 

material etc. 

Handy cooling of the samples 

with ice, which can easily be filled 

into the cooling vessel after 

opening the screw cap. This prevents 

sensitive samples from heating 

during homogenisation. 

Universal 

The universal clamping adapter of 

the cooling vessel allows for use 

of almost all homogenising vessels 

currently available on the 

market. Included in delivery are 6 

inserts for vessels with various 

diameters. 

Even EPPENDORF ® reaction vessels 

can be used. 

Homogenising vessels and inserts 

are fixed to the chuck and locked. 

The unit can also be supplied 

modified for use in a sterile workbench 

when operating with infectious 

substances (optional). 

Accessories 

schuett homgen plus includes a universal 

quick-grip chuck to use 

pestles of different shaft diameters 

and lengths. 

To change even quicker and safer, 

especially when using glass pestles 

with shaft diameters of 6, 8 or 

10 mm, we recommend the use 

of a quick-grip clamp for glass 

pestles. 

We offer a whole range of homogenising 

vessels and tapered 

respectively cylindrical pestles 

made of glass or teflon. 

Please ask for our special pestles 

made of stainless steel or 

polypropylen to use with 

EPPENDORF ® -test tubes or 

Falcon-tubes.

Homogenisers 

Homogenisers 

suitable for use with our schuett 

homgen plus semi-automatic homogeniser 

or any other drive-unit 

with drill chuck. 

The homogenising vessels and 

pestles of schuett-biotec GmbH 

are available in different models 

and sizes as well as with different 

specific features, i.e. the user may 

choose a homogenising vessel 

and pestle that perfectly meets 

his individual demands - depending 

on consistency and fibre 

length of the material to be 

treated. 

All homogenising vessels and 

pestles are manufactured with 

outmost precision and care to 

guarantee highest fitting accuracy 

to reach a good homogenisation 

result. 

In case of breakage, only the 

damaged part has to be replaced, 

the counterpiece may still be 

used. 

Please note for using glass 

pestles with powered drive-units 

When using pestles and homogenising 

vessels made of glass, both 

items have to be handled with 

care as two cut glass surfaces 

encounter. 

The rotational speed should be as 

slow as possible. Furthermore, the 

vertical power should only be 

used to the least possible extent. 

When moving, only glass surfaces 

being covered by liquid should be 

in contact. Contact between two 

dry glass surfaces cause resonance 

vibrations, which may lead to 

breakage of the glass parts. 

Please moisten pestle and homogenising 

vessel before homogenising. 

Carefully insert the pestle 

into the homogenising vessel at a 

low rotational speed.

EPPI-pestle made of polypropylen and 

stainless steel with quick-grip clamp

Tapered or cylindrical 

Depending on the task, one can 

choose between homogenisers 

with teflon pestles or ground 

glass pestles of tapered or 

cylindrical shape. 

The tapered homogeniser combines 

two zones for homogenisation. 

In the tapered zone the 

material will be pre-homogenised 

while the final fine-homogenisation 

takes place in the cylindrial 

zone. 

If the start material already has a 

fine texture, a cylindrical homogeniser 

may suffice. 

Homogeniser and pestle are of a 

precise shape and therefore 

separately exchangeable. 

Tapered 

homogenising vessels 

are most suitable for tough tissue 

that is difficult to homogenise 

(application 4 and 6). 

The distance between pestle and 

homogenising vessel depends on 

the immersion depth of the pestle 

in the tapered part of the vessel. 

In the tapered part, the material is 

chopped by moving the pestle up 

and down before it is homogenised 

in the cylindrical part of the 

vessel. 

Tapered homogenising vessels 

reach very good results - even for 

materials that could virtually not 

be homogenised in cylindrical 

vessels. 

Cylindrical 

homogenising vessels 

are most suitable for soft tissue 

as stated in applications 1-5. 

The straight, cylindrical pestles 

have a high fitting accuracy to the 

inner diameter of the homogenising 

vessel. The tip of the pestle 

fits exactly the bottom of the 

homogenising vessel, which forces 

the homogenising material 

upwards. The up and down movement 

of the vessel - and therewith 

the shearing action at the 

walls - causes the homogenisation 

process. 

For application 3, we offer a special 

homogenising vessel, which 

may be placed directly into the 

centrifuge. 

This vessel is suitable for centrifuge 

rotation of up to 4,000 rpm. 

Cylindrical homogenising vessels 

produce a very fine homogenisation.

Pestels made of teflon 

With shaft made of stainless 

steel. Inert, elastic, with a 

smooth, wax-like moisturerejecting 

surface. 

Resistant to high temperatures. 

Pestles made of teflon are preferentially 

used for homogenisation 

of soft materials 

(application 1 to 4, 

possibly 5). 

The teflon pestle tips accurately 

fit the inner dimensions of the 

homogenising vessel. All pestles 

and homogenising vessels of the 

same size may be exchanged and 

autoclaved. 

Teflon is chemically inert and has 

a soft wax-like and moisturerejecting 

surface. The advantages 

of teflon are low heat development, 

no contamination of the 

homogenate by glass abrasion, 

high stability, and trouble-free 

sterilisation. 

In the case where teflon (flexibiliser) 

might disturb the analytic, 

please use glass pestles. 

Glass-fibre reinforced teflon 

pestle 

For especially tough tissue. These 

pestles are practically unbreakable 

and cause considerably less 

contamination of the homogenate 

due to glass abrasion than glass 

pestles. 

The flexibility of teflon limits the 

effectiveness of using teflon pestles 

with tough tissue (application 

4, possibly 6). 

The reinforced teflon pestles contain 

25% of glass and are therewith 

10 times tougher; however, 

they are resistant to chemicals 

and have a smooth surface. 

They are most suitable for material 

that is rather difficult to homogenise, 

but still provide the 

advantages of pure teflon 

pestles. 

Pestles made of glass 

With robust glass shaft. Groundglass 

surface in cylindrical/tapered 

shape. Highly efficient with 

tough tissue. 

Cut glass pestles and homogenising 

vessels are most suitable for 

tough material that may cause difficulties 

during homogenisation 

(application 6). 

Naturally, application 1-5 may be 

done with glass pestles as well, it 

is however more comfortable to 

use teflon pestles due to the easy 

handling. 

Pestle and homogenising vessel 

may be exchanged, so that in 

case of weariness or breakage 

only the affected part has to be 

replaced. A motor drive-unit and a 

quick-grip clamp for glass pestles 

are recommended to minimize 

lateral pressure on the glass shaft 

and to reach sufficient torque 

with few rotations per minute. 

In the case where glass abrasion 

(quartz particles) may disturb the 

analytic, please use teflon 

pestles. 

EPPENDORF ® -scale 1.5 ml 

EPPI-pestle made of polypropylene 

(pestle and shaft) 

Autoclavable. Facilitates sterile 

working with serial samples. 

We offer special tapered pestles 

made of autoclavable polypropylene 

with a capacity of 500 µl for 

use in EPPENDORF ® -test tubes. 

The test tubes are safely held in 

the cooling vessel. Cooling the 

sample with ice allows for gentle 

treatment of the samples, e.g. for 

DNA/RNA-extraction. 

Our quick-grip clamp guarantees 

the treatment of many samples in 

best time and allows for changing 

the pestle with running engine. 

EPPI-pestle made of stainless 

steel, cut from solid material. 

Autoclavable. They are made from 

one piece and easy to clean 

sterilize in order to avoid contamination 

with germs etc. Suitable 

for use with liquid nitrogen. 

They may be exposed to high and 

low temperatures (autoclaving, 

liquid nitrogen). 

Our pestles made of stainless 

steel are most suitable for homogenising 

small volumes (up to 

500 µl) in tapered EPPENDORF ® - 

test tubes being frozen in liquid 

nitrogen. 

The advantages of the quick-grip 

clamp and the cooling vessel (see 

above) are adaptable to pestles 

made of stainless steel as well.

Yeast Genetics TDM Tetrad Dissection Microscope E 50i

Complete System 

TDM 

Tetrad Dissection 

Microscope E 50i 

• ergonomic system accelerates 

tests in yeast genetics 

• Micromanipulator mounted on 

the mechanical stage 

• simultaneous operation of fine 

focus and micromanipulator 

Ergonomically optimized, simplifies 

and accelerates tests in yeast 

genetics. 

The TDM E 50i is a complete 

system for comfortable and efficient 

tetrad dissection. 

This third generation design incorporates 

Nikon’s newest and most 

ergonomic laboratory microscope, 

the ECLIPSE E 50i with infinity 

optic. 

Micromanipulator 

The Precision Micromanipulator 

is mounted on the left side of the 

stage and both move simultaneously, 

when the microscope is 

focused, thus there is no need for 

a fixed stage. Other than the 

previous designs, the sideway 

movements are led by ball bearing 

slides, whereas the joystick 

allows for a smooth and hysteresis-free 

adjustment of Y- and Z- 

axis. The X-axis is adjusted by turning 

a knob. 

The Mechanical Stage has low 

coaxial control knobs, which are 

tension adjustable. The stage is 

indexed with "click-stops" every 

5 mm on the X- and Y-axis. 

Petri dishes with Ø 100 mm of 

various manufacturers can be 

used, because of the unique 

design of the dish holder. 

Microscope 

The Nikon Microscope 

ECLIPSE E 50i is comfortably designed 

with a 25° binocular body. 

Options are available to adjust the 

height of the eyepieces for even 

the tallest of operators. Focusing 

and micromanipulation can be 

done with both arms resting on 

the bench top. 

The TDM E 50i comes with an 

Abbe condenser, which has been 

modified so that it provides proper 

Köhler illumination over the 

extended distance to the object. 

Stand and stage are built for 

right-hand operation (left-hand 

operation optional). 

The TDM E 50i includes a precision 

joystick micromanipulator, a 

holder for Ø 100 mm Petri dishes, 

and mechanical stage with 

"click-stops". The microscope is 

complete with long working 

distance optics for viewing 

through the reversed dish and growing 

medium. 

Nikon’s new patented one-side 

fine focus allows for the operation 

of the stage and the fine focus 

with one hand.

schuett PickMaxX 

The Picking-Tool for Cell Colonies

High Efficiency 

schuett PickMaxX 

Clone Picking-Tool 

The schuett PickMaxX Picking-Tool is 

a handheld device for manually transferring 

cell colonies to multiwell plates 

as well as a manually operated 

inoculating device. 

It's performance almost compares to 

that of a low-cost Picking Robot, but 

at a fraction of its cost. 

The tool features a lightweight mobile 

part with a plastic cover suitable for 

disinfection with alcohol. It comes 

complete with a non-skid base-station, 

which holds the mobile part plus 

one complete set of Pick-combs. 

Unerring picking, i.e. for specific individual 

colonies: 

• high working efficiency compared 

to using toothpicks 

• more safety against crosscontamination 

• low-cost version of a picking 

robot 

• quick in-between screens, no 

setup time needed 

• bridges down-time of the 

picking robot 

Serial Inoculation 

Description: 

Compared to individually picking of 

single colonies from a Petri dish and 

transferring them to the multiwell 

plate with a toothpick, the schuett 

PickMaxX may pick up to 24 colonies 

in a row and transfer them all at the 

same time to the multiwell plate. 

This highly increases the efficiency of 

the process as well as the throughput. 

A multiwell plate, 384-size can 

be completely inoculated within 

approx. 15 minutes. Ideal for the 

quick expansion of laboratory capacities. 

Sterile disposable combs are used for 

picking cell colonies, which allow for 

serial inoculation in all standard multiwell 

plates (96-/384-size). 

Quick screens in-between are possible. 

No setup time required as compared 

with a picking robot. The 

PickMaxX is useful in bridging downtime 

(servicing) of a picking robot. 

Accurate & Rapid 

Application: 

To start with, a disposable comb is 

taken from the dispenser and inserted 

to the inlet of the schuett PickMaxX 

until an audible click can be noticed. 

Typically the agar plate is held in the 

operator's left hand allowing for a full 

view of the agar surface. The right 

hand holds the PickMaxX allowing the 

index finger to freely push the lever 

thereby advancing the comb with the 

individual foil tips. Each tip will then 

be used to pick one clone. 

The resulting serial picking of clones 

allows for transferring complete clone 

series in one uninterrupted work 

cycle.

Due to the optimized geometry of the 

schuett PickMaxX, it is well suited for 

use with all standard agar plates and 

ideal for picking especially close to 

the outer rim of Petri dishes. 

If needed, the operator may concentrate 

on a specific area of the agar 

surface. Since there is no interruption 

in viewing the agar surface picking 

the same clone twice can be avoided 

with absolute certainty. 

After all foil tips of a given comb 

carry a clone the entire comb will be 

removed from the PickMaxX and placed 

into the multiwell plate. There 

the combs are placed in one row after 

the other. The result is a quick and 

error-free means of transferring clones 

to multiwell plates.

EcoVac safety-vacuum-system 

Removal of liquid excess

EcoVac 

EcoVac 

safety-vacuum-system for the 

removal of liquid excess 

• autoclavable safety-bottle 

• low-noise and low-vibration 

double-chambered 

membrane pump 

• excellent cost-efficiency 

The EcoVac safety-vacuum-system 

supports efficent work and increases 

the safety standard when 

working with infectious material 

in a laboratory. 

EcoVac easily removes pathogenic 

liquid excess from dishes, bottles, 

tubes, disks etc. and transfers to 

a safety vacuum bottle made of 

break-resistant and autoclavable 

polypropylene. 

User-friendly concept 

EcoVac is a highly functional solution 

and extremly cost-efficient at 

the same time. 

We recommend a standard 

pasteur-pipette to remove the 

excess. It can easily be used with 

silicone tubing, which connects to 

the safety vacuum bottle. Further 

silicone tubing connects the 

safety vacuum bottle to the vacuum-system, 

i.e. the vacuum pump 

or central vacuum. 

Safety & Comfort 

More safety and comfort 

The safety vacuum bottle is resistant 

to chemicals, has a large 

capacity and therefore decreases 

time-consuming autoclaving and 

disposing to a minimum. 

The screw-cap of the bottle 

comes with two self-locking fittings, 

which seal the bottle and 

lock the vacuum bottle hermetically, 

when the tubing is removed 

for transport and autoclaving. 

The aeration insert ensures the 

needed pressure equalization 

when autoclaving. 

Space saving 

EcoVac only needs a minimum of 

space in your laboratory. Only the 

pasteur pipette with the silicone 

tubing and the vacuum bottle take 

up work space. By cutting the silicone 

tubing as needed, the 

system can easily be adapted to 

your individual working conditions. 

Accessories 

Vacuum pump 

The vacuum pump is a doublechambered 

membrane pump with 

an illuminated on/off-switch. 

An optional foot switch allows to 

control operation of the pump, if 

EcoVac should be used in intermittently. 

Safety filter 

The safety filter between the 

vacuum bottle and the pump prevents 

the pump from contamination 

or consequences of aggresive 

gases or liquids. 

Foot-switch 

Allows to operate the pump if the 

EcoVac system should be used 

intermittently.

Multi-Pulse-Vortexer Mixing and Homogenizing

Powerful 

Multi-Pulse-Vortexer 

• efficient vortexing of 

large sample volume 

• pulsing feature interrupts 

action for more thorough 

mixing 

• easily adapted to different 

vessels 

• high effectiveness for 

enzymatic reactions 

• reproducible results due to 

thorough mixing 

Powerful and thorough 

vortexing large sample volume 

The Multi-Pulse-Vortexer is 

especially suitable for vortexing 

large sample volume. 

The standard version has space 

for 22 reagent vessels. 

Efficient 

The powerful drive system (max. 

2,500 rpm) ensures thorough 

mixing of even the toughest samples. 

The speed range is continuously 

adjustable. 

Additional pulse function 

Samples with a tendency to form 

layers are no problem for the 

Multi-Pulse-Vortexer. The 

system's additional pulsing 

feature interrupts the vortexing 

process briefly to allow for 

thorough mixing. 

The pulsing frequency is continuously 

adjustable. 

Thorough Homogenisation 

Adding glass or steel beads to the 

sample causes homogenisation of 

the material. The pulsing feature 

guarantees a complete homogenisation 

of the entire sample. 

Applications 

Variety of sizes to fit most 

applications 

The Multi-Pulse-Vortexer allows 

working with all common types of 

sample vessels, simply by changing 

the cartridge size. The Multi- 

Pulse-Vortexer adapts easily to 

different sample volumes - 

without the need to purchase 

additional attachment adapters. 

Whether microtiter plates, cryotubes, 

reagent vessels, Falcon 

tubes, Erlenmeyer or other vessels, 

the adapter is the same - 

only the insert changes. The insert 

can be height adjusted. 

Using the optional blank inserts, 

allows for using the unit for most 

standard tube racks or with complete 

test tube racks.
