Spiral platers are used extensively in the food industry to test for safe levels of bacteria; non-food applications include pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, water, and mouth and skin bacteria. The WASP 2 (Whitley Automatic Spiral Plater) takes advantage of contemporary technology to offer microprocessor-controlled stepper motor motion to streamline and automate traditional spiral plate techniques.
