Product news

The new automatic Scan 500 colony counter counts colonies in Petri dishes of any colony dish size, in complete simplicity and efficiency.

Equipped with unique user-friendly software, Scan 500 counts colonies in less than half of a second and is completely adaptable, meeting all requirements.

Scan 500 is easy to use: one-touch operation, one cursor to optimize comfort, one-window access to all functions, exports results in Excel format and memorizes screenshots of the plates for possible recounts.

Colony counting is quick and precise: the separation of clustered colonies is automated, Scan 500 will adapt to any kind of agar and will automatically correct any defects on the plate. It will count both Spiral and traditional plates.

Delivered with a firewire CCD color camera and a lighting system with long-life LEDs, contrast brightness, lighting and sensitivity are automatically optimized by the software.

No special training is needed to use Scan 500.

Made from stainless steel and very compact, Scan 500 is user-friendly and enables fast and precise colony counting.

MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.
