Abstract: A method for the distribution of supports impregnated with antibiotics, includes a step of positioning of a plurality di tubular containers, each one containing a plurality of supports impregnated with antibiotics and stacked, in a corresponding plurality of seats of a dispenser. Extraction of at least a first support from a first container is performed using an extractor, the step of extraction being performed in correspondence of an upper end of the first container and comprising a movement of the first support between a first position inside of the first container and a second position extracted from the first container, said first position and said second position lying substantially in correspondence of an upper surface of the dispenser. Collection of the first support from the second position is performed using a collector Transportation of the first support towards a culture plate by the collector is performed.

Extraction of at least a first support from a first container, through an extractor, the extraction being performed in correspondence of an end of the first container and comprising a movement of the first support between a first position inside the first container and a second position extracted from the first container wherein the first support is positioned on an auxiliary dispenser different from the dispenser and configured for housing a plurality of supports in a respective plurality of collection areas. Collection of the first support from the second position using a collector is performed. Transportation of the first support from the auxiliary dispenser towards a culture plate by the collector is performed.

Abstract: A method for the distribution of supports includes positioning a plurality di tubular containers, each containing a plurality of supports impregnated with antibiotics and stacked, in a corresponding plurality of seats of a dispenser. Extraction of at least a first support from a first container, is performed using an extractor, moving the first support between a first position inside of the first container and a second position extracted from the first container. Collection of the first support from the second position by a collector is performed. Transportation of the first support towards a culture plate by the collector is performed, the first support is held at least at the end of extraction, in substantial correspondence of the second position and/or during collection and/or of transportation through the collector, a vacuum is created between the first support and a striking surface using a vacuum holder.
