Advanced Digital Counting PrecisionThis colony counter employs a touch pressure-sensitive digital system, offering accurate quantitative analysis of microorganisms with a high counting range and a four-digit LED counter. Audible confirmation ensures every count is recorded, while uniform non-flicker illumination provides consistent viewing necessary for critical laboratory work.
Practical and Ergonomic Laboratory DesignThe removable, washable petri dish holder and optional 2x magnifying glass support ease of use and effortless maintenance. Designed for busy laboratories, the lightweight, ABS plastic construction and UV-resistant body guarantee both portability and lasting durability, easily withstanding repeated use in laboratory environments.
Seamless Operation and International ComplianceOperating on 230 V AC, 50 Hz in a single-phase configuration, this colony counter conforms to international laboratory standards for safe, reliable operation. With storage for up to 9999 counts and accuracy down to a single colony, it reliably supports microbiological studies and research in a variety of sectors.
FAQs of Colony Counter:
Q: How is the colony counting process performed with this instrument?
A: To count colonies, place your petri dish (up to 110 mm diameter) in the removable holder. Use the pressure-sensitive pen to mark and count colonieseach touch produces an audible signal and the count is displayed digitally for reliable results.
Q: What is the benefit of the electronical counting assistance with audible confirmation?
A: Electronically assisted counting, paired with audible confirmation, significantly reduces user error and ensures that each colony is counted and recorded accurately, enhancing efficiency and reliability in quantitative microbiological analysis.
Q: When and where should this colony counter be used?
A: This colony counter is designed exclusively for laboratory settings, ideal for microbiological applications such as counting bacterial and fungal colonies in research, clinical, food, or pharmaceutical laboratories.
Q: What maintenance is required for the petri dish holder and how is it cleaned?
A: The petri dish holder is removable and washable, allowing for straightforward cleaning and maintaining a hygienic laboratory environment. Regular washing after use helps prevent cross-contamination between samples.
Q: What advantages does the optional 2x magnifying glass provide?
A: The supplied 2x magnifying glass enhances visibility, enabling precise identification and counting of small or closely spaced colonies, crucial for accuracy in dense or complex samples.
Q: How does the device ensure durability and safety during use?
A: Constructed from UV-resistant ABS plastic and conforming to international laboratory standards, the device is both lightweight and robust, ensuring long-lasting performance and safety in demanding lab conditions.
