Automatic Colony Counting Scan

Efficiency
Scan® 500 is an automatic color colony counter that offer quick, and traceable counting results. Widely used in food microbiology, it counts colonies and automatically saves all data to Excel™. Equipped with a digital camera and a powerful software, it connects to a PC via a USB connection.

1. HIGH RESOLUTION AND PERFORMANCE - Minimum colony size: 0.1 mm - 1000 colonies CFU detected in 1 second - Live image (zoom x7) - Counts 30 dishes in 5 minutes (in real conditions with presettings) 2. COUNTS ON:
Petri dishes
Chromogenic Petri dish
Boîte de Petri ensemencé en Spiral®
Inhibition zones
3. SOFTWARE EFFICIENCY - All functions in 1 window - Automatic optimization of the contrast, luminosity and sensitivity - Automatic corrections of the agar defects - Automatic separtion of confluent colonies - Automatic elimination of counting grids - Cross on each counted colony - Polygonal exclusion areas - Automatic adjustment of the counting area - Automatic settings for more than 20 pres-set media (PCA/TSA, MRS, VRBL, TBX, TSC, Baird Parker, GVPC, L.Mono, YM and more…) 4. INHIBITION ZONE, AGAR WELL - Rapid detection: up to 8 antibiotic sensitivities in 1 click - Inhibition zones and agar wells can be manually added or deleted - Built-in antibiotic database (CA-SFM, French Society of Microbiology) - Precision of inhibition zone measurement: 0.3 mm - Precision of agar well measurement: 0.3 mm 5. FULL TRACEABILITY - Harmonization of the results within a team - Automatic archiving and printing of data: pictures, comments & results - External traceability (Session saved, Excel™, PDF, JPEG, BMP, Scan printed report) - Internal traceability (Barcode, file archive, LIMS connection) - Securization of the sessions (Compliance with CFR 21 part 11: system securization, operational controls and documentation management) 6. EXCELLENT REPRODUCIBILITY AND REPEATABILITY - GLP (Good laboratory Practice) - CFR 21 Part 11 Scan® SOFTWARE
Scan® automatic colony counters use an exclusive software developped by INTERSCIENCE: evolutive, user-friendly and powerful. There are numerous advantages in using Scan® counting software: - Only one clic to count - Only one setting cursor - Traceability: automatic saving of data, Excel™ export 1. VISUALISATION WINDOW 
Detected colonies are highlighted and marked with a cross. 2. PARAMETERS WINDOW 
Only one cursor to optimize counting. customizable settings adaptable to any kind of agar. 3. RESULTS WINDOW 
All previously recorded data can be checked anytime. EASY DATA EXPORT 
Scan software provides easy ways to export quickly your results: - Work sessions saving - PDF export - JPEG, BMP export - Results exported to Excel™ - Scan® printed report EXAMPLE OF A SCAN® PRINTED REPORT 
Check in a glance images before and after counting, complete sample information, comments and results.
