Working Principle
A Petri dish is placed on the counting platform, where the Dark Field LED system automatically optimises contrast, brightness, and sensitivity. A high-definition colour camera captures a live image, and the software counts all colonies in under one second, up to 1,000 CFU per second, with each colony marked by a cross. Requiring no manual settings, preset media parameters enable immediate one-click counting. Results are automatically saved with image, sample number, date, and time, and exported to Excel™, PDF, JPEG, PNG, or BMP via USB or LIMS connection.
Key Features
Delivering up to 98% counting accuracy, the Scan® series produces reproducible, operator-independent results across all sessions. Automatic separation of confluent colonies, polygonal exclusion zones, and manual correction tools ensure reliable counts on challenging samples. Sessions are secured in compliance with 21 CFR Part 11, with barcode and LIMS connectivity ensuring complete traceability. A 3-year warranty and 10-year spare parts availability support long-term laboratory confidence.
