Es geht um die Herstellung von Antibiotika-Proben. Habe "dilution device" gefunden, bin mir aber nicht sicher, ob dieser Begriff auch im mikrobiologischen Zusammenhang benutzt wird. Danke für eure Hilfe!

"Dilution device" and "dilution apparatus" can both be found on the net, but the Google hit rate is not high. You might want to expand it a bit, like 'apparatus for making dilutions' or some such.
