Product Description

l software for selection according to colour, size and shape
l light-proof sample chamber with CCD-Firewire-camera (colour)
l image acquisition and simultaneous evalution within seconds
l tables and images may be stored digitally
l agar plates, nutrient disks, inhibition zone analysis, spiral plating
l mixed cultures, up to 8 colours simultaneously per petri dish
l sectorial evaluation, 90% option
l in conformity with GLP

High throughput analysis of bacterial colonies or bacteriophage plaques in less than a second. The schuett colonyQuant is comprised of a CCD-Firewire camera (colour) with autozoom and autofocus, a light-proof sample chamber and the software for automated colony counting.

Differentiation by colour, size and shape to be combined at choice by the user. Additional features allow for separating overlapping colonies. Settings to be stored and retrieved via mouse-click for future analysis of similar type samples. The system is straightforward to use and the software is Windows based. Results are presented as an image on your monitor or in a table exportable to Excel.

Unique to the schuett colonyQuant is its ability:

l to process up to 400 Petri dishes per hour with up to 1.000 counts per dish.
l accurate detection of difficult to identify colonies.
l mixed cultures - differentiation of colonies with up to 8 colours simultaneously.
l changeover from evaluating agar plates or to nutrient discs, to spiral
plates, to inhibition zone analysis etc. can be effected by a simple mouse click.

The system has been designed for use with Petri dishes of 60 and 90 mm diameter. As a result of using a LED-array to illuminate the surface of the agar circular from the side a hereto unknown transparency and sharpness for detecting colonies can be observed.

Typical applications (examples): Total number of colonies, Enterobacteria, nutrient disks and filter disks, chromogenic agar, high number of colonies (up to approx. 1.000 per Petri dish), bacteriophage plaque assay, inhibition zones and dark agar.

Powerful Imaging & Precise Counting

Integrating a high-resolution 5-megapixel camera and advanced image processing, the Automated Colony Counter ensures exceptional accuracyup to 98%in colony detection. Adjustable focus and uniform LED illumination enable clear visualization and reliable results for a wide range of microbial colony forms. The touchscreen interface simplifies operation, while the configurable calibration supports consistent and reproducible measurements.

Efficient Workflow & Data Management

With a swift detection speed of up to 1,000 colonies per minute and batch support, labs can process numerous samples efficiently. The system stores up to 10,000 plate records, exporting results easily through USB, Ethernet, or Wi-Fi. Data can be saved in standard formats (JPEG, BMP), enhancing analysis, documentation, and compliance reporting.

User-Centric Design & Versatile Application

The device is built for bench-top use, fitting standard 90-100 mm Petri dishes. Multi-user accounts with password protection ensure secure, tailored access. The automated counter supports a diverse operational environment (10C40C, 2080% RH) and is equipped with digital calibration and adjustable test stroke, making it suitable for a variety of applications in both research and industry settings.

FAQs of Automated Colony Counter:

Q: How does the automated colony counting process work with this device?

A: The device utilizes a 5-megapixel digital camera and advanced image analysis software to capture and process images of microbial colonies. Simply place a Petri dish (90100 mm) on the platform, adjust the focus, and start counting. The system can operate in both manual and automatic modes, providing rapid and reliable colony counts with a response time of 12 seconds per plate.

Q: What are the benefits of using this automated colony counter in my lab?

A: Using this counter increases accuracy, reduces human error, and dramatically speeds up the counting process. With up to 98% counting accuracy and test speeds of up to 1,000 colonies per minute, labs benefit from higher throughput, enhanced data storage (up to 10,000 records), and secure, multi-user access. Automatic data output and image saving further streamline reporting and documentation.

Q: When should digital calibration be performed?

A: Digital calibration should be performed during the initial setup, any time the device is relocated, or if you observe inconsistencies in counting results. The systems user-definable calibration ensures that you can maintain precision tailored to your laboratorys specific requirements.

Q: Where can the automated colony counter be used effectively?

A: This equipment is suitable for settings that require reliable colony enumeration, such as microbiology research labs, pharmaceutical quality control, food safety analysis, water and dairy testing facilities, and educational institutions. Its compact, bench-top design makes it ideal for a wide range of laboratory environments.

Q: What image formats does the colony counter support for data storage and output?

A: The automated colony counter saves plate images in widely compatible JPEG and BMP formats. This allows for flexible documentation, easy sharing, and straightforward integration into laboratory information management systems or reports.

Q: How secure is access to the device for multiple users?

A: The colony counter supports multiple user accounts with password protection. This ensures secure access management, allowing supervised control over data entry, calibration settings, and result retrieval for different user levels in the laboratory.

Q: Which connection interfaces are available for data export and device integration?

A: It offers several connectivity options, including Wi-Fi, USB, and Ethernet, for data transfer and system integration. These interfaces enable quick data export, real-time network access, and compatibility with standard laboratory management systems.
