Colony Counters

1. HIGH RESOLUTION AND PERFORMANCE
• Minimum colony size: 0.05mm
• 1000 colonies CFU detected in 1 second
• Live image (zoom x28)
• Counts 30 dishes in 5 minutes (in real conditions with presettings)
• Fully automatic lighting: lights controlled by computer and motorised background colour

2. COUNTS ON:

3. SOFTWARE EFFICIENCY
• All functions in 1 window
• Automatic optimisation of the contrast, luminosity and sensitivity
• Automatic corrections of the agar defects
• Automatic separation of confluent colonies
• Automatic elimination of counting grids
• Cross on each counted colony
• Polygonal exclusion areas
• Pre-set medias: PCA/TSA, MRS, VRBL, TBX, TSC, Baird Parker, GVPC, L.Mono, YM

4. INHIBITION ZONE, AGAR WELL
• Rapid detection: up to 8 antibiotic sensitivities in 1 click
• Inhibition zones and agar wells can be manually added or deleted
