The automatic Scan 1200 colony counter allows great work comfort and is described as incredibly time-saving in producing standardised, quick and accurate results
Connected to a Lims and to a bar-code reader the Scan 1200 ensures productivity and traceability.
Equipped with a high-resolution camera, the Scan 1200 guarantees the counting of plated colonies, even very small ones, in less than a second.
The Scan 1200 has a built-in high-resolution camera and connect to a PC thanks to a powerful and user-friendly software.
It counts colonies on plated Petri dishes on Spiral, spread and pour plates and plated colonies on Petri Film, RIDA count/Sanita-kun, filtering membrane and Compact Dry in less than a second.
Entirely developed by Interscience, the Scan software centralises all the functions of the Scan in one window making its use intuitive and user-friendly: it has a visualisation window where the detected colonies are highlighted and marked with a cross, one cursor to optimise counting, customisable settings adaptable to any kind of agar and a result area where recorded data are available at any time.
Clustered colonies are automatically separated and any defects on the plate are corrected.
In less than a second, colonies are marked with a cross and counted.
Traceability is ensured by the automatic saving of the data: results and screenshots are immediately saved and can be checked and re-counted anytime.
The export of the results to Excel is also a feature which is greatly apreciated by the labs.
The Firewire connection ensures the rapid transfer of high-resolution images.
The Scan 1200 can also be connected to a Lims and to a bar-code reader.
The Scan 1200 allows the counting of small colonies and the counting of dishes with a lot of colonies.
The digital image of the sample placed in the Scan is displayed at seven frames per second.
The camera resolution is 1280x960 pixels and the image can be reduced or enlarged.
The zoom function enables you to see the colonies in detail and differenciate them clearly from particles.
Thanks to the multiple lighting combinations, the Scan adapts to any kind of agar and colonies.
The lighting by LEDs allow six different settings.
Lighting by LEDs adds great flexibility in the reading and the robutsness of the scan.
It is a unit which requires no maintenance.
The Scan 1200 guarantees a quick use and in compliance with the GLP Good Laboratory Practice.
No special training is necessary.
