Inspissator

An Inspissator is a laboratory instrument primarily used in microbiology for the concentration and isolation of microorganisms from liquid samples, typically in water and wastewater analysis. It consists of a heated, cone-shaped glass or metal container with a sloping bottom and a tapered neck. The sample to be concentrated is poured into the inspissator and heated over an open flame or electric heater, promoting evaporation and the removal of the liquid content while leaving behind a concentrated microbial pellet. Our inspissator is especially valuable for detecting and quantifying bacteria and other microorganisms in environmental samples.
