Automatic colony counter, Scan 300
Scan 300 is an automatic colony counter that includes the essential features for Petri dish counting. It is specifically adapted to the usual media in food microbiology: PCA, MRS…
Counting range
Counting of pour and surface plating mode on Ø 55 – 90 mm Petri dishes.
Counting of Spiral plating mode on Ø 55 – 90 mm Petri dishes.
Counting of circle plating mode on Ø 55 – 90 mm Petri dishes.
Accuracy and repeatability
The counting of Petri dishes is long, tedious and can vary from person to person.
The Scan 300 can count up to 1000 colonies in 1 second in a constant and repeatable manner. Counting can be up to 98% accuracy. The minimum colony size is 0.1 mm.
21 CFR Part 11 included
The Scan software responds to FDA recommendations, including electronic signatures, audit trails, and security of results. User account management is integrated into the software. The supervisor can manage accounts and passwords directly, without always calling on the network administrator.
Traceability
Scan 300 connects to the LIMS in bi-directionality and can be connected to the diluter and automatic plater via dataLink, the traceability system.
Scan 300 offers multiple export possibilities to save manual input time. It also increases the security and quality of your analyses.
Usually, Petri dishes are thrown away after counting and no further verification is possible in the event of a claim. With Scan software, all reports are archived.
Export your results to your PC or archive them in CSV, ExcelTM, OpenOfficeTM, PDF, SCA, BIOformat. You can also export images from the camera in JPEG, PNG and BMP format.
Print of the results
All data, images, photos and results are exportable in printable reports, sca, pdf, jpg, xls, csv.
Dark Field lighting technology
Thanks to the Dark Field technology and its low lighting, colonies are easy to count. The operator does not tire his eyes.
Ideal with dataLink full traceability system
dataLink is a complete traceability system for the microbiological analysis of a sample, from its plating with easySpiral Pro or easySpiral Dilute platers to colony counting. After incubation, the reading of the datamatrix code makes it possible to collect the information of the sample and its plating and to automatically launch on the colony counter the associated parameters.
Warranty
Scan automatic colony counters have 3-YEAR warranty (parts and labour) just by sending the warranty card back.
Applications
The Scan 300 colony counter is used in the food, environmental, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, veterinary and public institutes research.
