Scan 300 Automatic Colony Counter

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...

• Minimum size of detected colony: 0.1 mm
• Camera: 1 megapixel - zoom x 28
• Couting on round Petri dishes of Ø 55 - 90 mm
• Counting on pour, surface, Spiral, circle mode plated dishes
• Language: English, French, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, Spanish, German

Counting range

Pour and surface plating: Counting of pour and surface plating mode on Ø 55 - 90 mm Petri dishes.

Spiral plating: Counting of Spiral plating mode on Ø 55 - 90 mm Petri dishes.

Circle plating: 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 complies with FDA recommendations, particularly on audit trail and security of results.

The user account management, integrated in the software, allows the creation of up to 5 levels of rights. The Supervisor-Administrator has all the roles while the other roles are subject to certain rights. Password management secures user accounts.

Traceability

Data import

Scan 300 connects to the LIMS in bi-directionality and can be connected to the diluter and automatic plater via dataLink, the traceability system.

Data recording

After each approved counting, the Scan 300 automatically saves and exports the counting parameters and results to a CSV file.

Data export

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, Excel^TM, OpenOffice^TM, PDF, SCA, BIO format. 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.
