Scientific Validation of Spiral Plating through Cyclone™ instrument

This white paper by Matteo Lucchini validates spiral plating with the Cyclone™ automated microbiology system, which is designed to standardize and optimize laboratory workflows. Spiral plating enables accurate microbial enumeration on a single agar plate through continuous dilution, reducing manual work and consumables. Validation tests confirmed high accuracy, reproducibility across instruments, and consistency across multiple bacterial species, with results comparable to traditional methods. Cyclone spiral plating is a validated, efficient solution for food and cosmetic microbiology laboratories seeking automation, precision, and workflow optimization.
