Rapid and reliable. Counting of bacteria colonies and bacteriophage plaques within seconds. Tremendous assistance and high user friendliness.

The light-proof closable sample chamber with colour camera (autozoom/autofocus) provides a format-filling display of the Petri dish. State-of-the-art LED-lighting technology allows for variable lighting, i.e. on 3 sample levels with lighting from top, from the side and from below. The lateral illumination of the agar surface provides a so-far unknown transparency and different-tiation of the colonies on the agar.

Unique features:

• Windows®-surface
• For Petri dishes with Ø 60 and 90 mm
• Selection according to parameters – colour, size and shape, in any combination
• Storage of the set parameters for future evaluation, retrievable by a simple mouse click
• Analysis of 400 Petri dishes/hour with up to 1000 colonies/Petri dish
• Accurate detection of difficult to identify colonies
• Mixed cultures – up to 8 colours simultaneously
• Split feature, for individually counting overlapping colonies
• Rapid changeover from evaluating agar plates – to nutrient disks – to spiral plating – to inhibition zone analysis etc.
• Fluorescence-UV-light source, 365 nm
• Display of the results in tabular form e.g. Excel®
• Storage of data and images
• Detailed reporting
• GLP-conform
• LIMS-compatible
• Optionally available with barcode scanner or printer

Examples of use:
Enterobacteria, total number of different colonies, E.coli bacteria agar, Brewer’s yeast, Nutrient/filter disks, Bacteriophage plaques, inhibition zones as well as all types of agar.
