Procscan, a full-colour plate scanning accessory for the Protocol 2 system, allows microbiologists to automatically count colonies or measure inhibition zones on large bioassay plates in seconds.
The Procscan, designed to be easily integrated to the Protocol 2 system via USB port, can accommodate round or square plates of up to 30 x 30cm and can even scan large grid arrays.
The Procscan generates an accurate 22G pixel equivalent plate image that is rapidly imported into the Protocol 2.
The system then analyses the image to provide data that can be directly exported into statistical analysis packages to determine vaccine or antibiotic potency.
Using the Procscan to image bioassay plates means a larger number of vaccines and anti-microbial treatments can be processed per unit of time, further increasing the productivity of the Protocol 2 system.
The Procscan comes with IQ, OQ and PQ documentation, ensuring faster installation and validation in a manufacturing site.
Additionally, the Protocol 2 can be integrated into any 21 CFR Part 11 environment, making the Protocol 2 suitable for generating secure data in a GMP/GLP facility, while still saving time with repetitive counting or measuring tasks.
