Hi,
we use a Tecnomara (Swiss company) Tecnomat 135.
You put in empty plates in a dispenser (about 30 at a time)
, the plates are moved automatically
and agar is dispensed (with an automatic
pump unit), and the plates come out the other
end. (stacking manually, though they also sell you a stacking
machine).
