Accuracy and repeatability

The counting of Petri dishes is long, tedious and can vary from one person to another.

Scan 500 can count up to 1000 colonies in 1 second in a constant and repeatable mode. Counting accuracy reach up to 98%. The minimum colony size is 0.1 mm.

Data integrity

Scan receives and sends information from LIMS and/or dataLink and digitizes the counting. All the data from the analysis are traceable and auditable. The results are validated by a double electronic signature. Thanks to account management, you have multi-level access for the validation of results. This solution thus ensures the reliability and security of data in accordance with FDA guidelines, 21 CFR Part 11 and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) Annex 11.


Account management 21 CFR Scan software

Traceability and printing of results

Scan connects to the LIMS in bi-directionality and can be connected to the diluter and plater via dataLink, a traceability system. It offers multiple export possibilities to save time on manual entry and thus increase the security and quality of your analyses.

Export your results to your PC or archive them in CSV, Excel™, OpenOffice™, PDF, SCA, BIO format. You can also export images from the camera in JPEG, PNG and BMP format.

Traceability system with DataLink

Traceability ensured
with dataLink

With dataLink, you can track the sample from plating to automatic colony counting.

Parameter the label that will be stuck on the edge of the dish. The colony counting is then optimised.

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.

Warranty

Scan 500 automatic colony counters have 3-YEAR warranty (parts and labour) just by sending the warranty card back.


3 year warranty

Applications

Scan 500 is used to read Petri dishes plated manually or using the Spiral technique. It allows detection of chromogenic media and enumeration of colored colonies such as positive beta-glucuronidase E. coli on TBX in food processing analyses.
