Scan® 1200 Automatic Colour Colony Counter

Scan 1200 is an HD automatic colony counter. It adapts itself to all media and counts in 1 click all colonies even the smallest ones. It ensures accuracy and excellent reproducibility. Images and results are saved automatically. Scan 1200 is also an inhibition zone reader.

1. HIGH RESOLUTION & PERFORMANCE - Minimum colony size: 0.05 mm - 1000 colonies CFU detected in 1 second - Live image (zoom x28) - Counts 30 dishes in 5 minutes (in real conditions with presettings) - Fully automatic lighting: lights controlled by computer and motorized background colour.

2. SOFTWARE EFFICIENCY - All functions in 1 window - Automatic optimization of the contrast, luminosity and sensitivity - Automatic corrections of the agar defects - Automatic separation of confluent colonies - Automatic elimination of counting grids - Cross on each counted colony - Polygonal exclusion areas - Pre-set medias: PCA/TSA, MRS, VRBL, TBX, TSC, Baird Parker, GVPC, L.Mono, YM.

3. 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 - Reads on: Muller Hinton agar, blood agar, chocolate agar.

4. 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 21 CFR part 11: system securization, operational controls and documentation management).

6. EXCELLENT REPRODUCIBILITY AND REPEATABILITY - GLP (Good laboratory Practice) - 21 CFR 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.
