Counting range
Pour and surface
Counting of pour and surface 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.
TheScan 300can 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.
Before/after counting on total count
Manual counting
Automatic counting
21 CFR Part 11 included
TheScansoftware 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
SIL/LIMS connexion
Bar-codes
dataLink
Scan 300 connects to the LIMS in bi-directionalityand can be connected to the diluter and automatic plater via dataLink, the traceability system.
Print of the results
All data, images, photos and results are exportable in printable reports, sca, pdf, jpg, xls, csv.
Printed report example
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
dataLinkis a complete traceability system for the microbiological analysis of a sample, from its plating with easySpiral Proor easySpiral Diluteplaters 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
Scanautomatic colony counters have3-YEARwarranty (parts and labour) just by sending the warranty card back.
Applications
TheScan 300colony counter is used in the food, environmental, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, veterinary and public institutes research.
