Relax While Counting Colonies

The schuett colonyQuant automated colony counter has been designed for daily needs in modern microbiological labs. The system acquires images and counts the colonies at the push of a button. The user-friendly software is able to count within seconds up to 1,000 colonies on a Petri dish.

Colonies may be distinguished according to their colour, shape and size. One unique feature of schuett colonyQuant is the rapid change of methods - from counting Petri dishes with various agar types to evaluation of nutrient disks, spiral plating and inhibition zone analysis. Mixed cultures may be evaluated separately with up to eight colours simultaneously. It easily analyses poured agar plates that vary in thickness or have an uneven surface or are poured
slightly inclined.

The new version of automated colony counter series, the schuett colonyQuant HD, has been specially designed for Quality Control in water industries. It provides a camera with high definition (HD) resolution for analysing very small colonies of min. 0.05mm diameter. The traditional system with VGA-camera will analyse colonies from 0.1mm diameter. LED-technology puts the samples in high-contrast and colour fidelity lighting. Both systems include a UV-light source that is able to identify and to count fluorescent colonies like Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Use the full functionality: The original and the evaluated image will be stored and may be reported digitally with all relevant data of the analysis for printing and re-opening at any time for re-evaluation. All sample relevant settings, including the camera zoom function, are stored in the user profile. The GLP-conform schuett colonyQuant automated colony counter is portable and requires only little space on your workbench.
