Last month, at ECCMID, Mast Group officially launched the new DISCMASTER 8 place dispenser. The MAST® DISCMASTER dispensers have been developed to optimise performance and provides a reliable and robust solution for the dispensing of Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test (AST), Identification (ID), and Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) cartridge discs within the MASTDISCS® range. The DISCMASTER range now offers a 6 place and 8 place disc dispenser.

Each DISCMASTER dispenser guarantees optimal performance and longevity thanks to robust testing. Mast Group Ltd. validates dispensers based on a sample size driven by BS 6001. The dispensers are validated by carrying out a quality control procedure which involves a visual inspection as well as in-house performance testing with a full set of dispense operations. The dispensing mechanism is tested extensively across the range of MAST® DISCMASTER products, dispensing tens of thousands of discs. Each design is also subjected to a longevity test, simulating over 50,000 dispensing cycles on a mechanical test rig.
