Counting Range
- Pour and surface plating mode on Ø 55 - 90 mm Petri dishes
- Spiral plating mode on Ø 55 - 90 mm Petri dishes
- circle plating mode on Ø 55 - 90 mm Petri dishes
- Inhibition zone measurement with EUCAST, CA-SFM, CLSI and customizable databases
- Chromogenic Agar
Detection up to 7 colours on the same dish. The selection of the colour can be set directly on that of the characteristic colony. A slider adjusts the sensitivity. The reading of chromogenic media allows the detection of Salmonella on XLD medium and E.Coli on TBX medium.
Accuracy and repeatability
The counting of Petri dishes is long, tedious and can vary from one person to another. The Scan 500 can count up to 1000 colonies in 1 second in a constant and repeatable mode. Counting accuracy reach up to 98%. 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.
Dark Field Lighting Technology
Thanks to the Dark Field technology and its low lighting, colonies are easy to count. The operator does not get tired eyes.
Traceability
Scan 500 connects to the LIMS in bi-directionality and can be connected to the diluter and plater via dataLink traceability system.
Scan 500 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 500, all reports are archived.
Export your results to your PC or archive them in CSV, Excel™, OpenOffice™, PDF, SCA, BIO format. You can also export images from the camera in JPEG, PNG and BMP format.
All data, images, photos and results are exportable in printable reports, sca, pdf, jpg, xls, csv.
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.
Applications
The Scan 500 colony counter is used in the food, environmental, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, veterinary and public institutes research.
Warranty
Scan 500 automatic colony counters have 3-YEAR warranty (parts and labour) just by sending the warranty card back.
