About Digital Colony Counters

Digital Colony Counter is designed for quick and accurate counting of bacterial and mould colonies in petri dishes. Feature packed & easy to use, this is an indispensable bench top tool for the busy microbiologist. It is designed for rapid and accurate counting of bacterial and mould colonies. Simply place the pertri dish on the illuminated pad and touch the dish with the pen provided to mark each colony in turn.

This causes a count to be registered on the digital display and audible tone confirms each count made. Marking the dish with the pen avoids missing colonies or double counting. The digital count on the display can be reset manually any time by pressing the RESET key provided. Optimum viewing of colonies is aided by peripheral glare-free illumination. An integral magnifying glass provides for easier counting of small colonies.

Uniform Illumination for Accurate Detection

The colony counter features glare-free LED illumination, ensuring clear visibility and uniform lighting across the plate. This is crucial for detecting colonies, even the smallest ones, aiding researchers in achieving precise and repeatable results during colony counting sessions.

High Capacity Digital Counting

With a measurement range of 0 to 9999 counts displayed on a 4-digit LED screen, this equipment accommodates both low and high-volume samples efficiently. The adjustable lens provides up to 10X magnification, making it easier to identify and count colonies accurately, supported by an electronic pen for direct counting and marking.

Ergonomic and Reliable Construction

Constructed with an ABS body and glass grid plate, the digital colony counter is designed for durability and ergonomic use. The intuitive touch-sensitive pen and audio indication system (beep with each count) streamline the counting process, enhancing user confidence and efficiency in laboratory environments.

FAQs of Digital Colony Counters:

Q: How does the digital colony counter achieve accurate colony counting?

A: The Digital Colony Counter employs a touch-sensitive electronic pen and sharp uniform LED illumination on a 110 mm grid plate, allowing users to manually count or mark each colony. Each count is confirmed with a buzzer sound, ensuring accuracy and minimizing miscounts, with up to 9999 counts displayed on its four-digit LED screen.

Q: What are the main benefits of using LED illumination in this colony counter?

A: LED illumination in this device offers uniform, glare-free lighting, eliminating shadows and enhancing visibility of colonies. This consistent lighting helps microbiologists detect even minute colonies, ultimately improving the precision and repeatability of results.

Q: When should the touch-sensitive electronic pen and marker pen modes be used?

A: The touch-sensitive electronic pen is ideal when rapid, manual counting is required, triggering a digital count and audio beep with each touch. The marker pen mode is suitable for situations where marking colonies on the grid plate for future reference or documentation is needed.

Q: Where is the Digital Colony Counter typically installed or used?

A: This equipment is primarily used in microbiology and bacteriological laboratories, including research facilities, hospitals, food safety labs, and educational institutions. Its compact design (255 x 275 x 105 mm) allows fitment on most lab benches or workstations.

Q: What is the counting process with this colony counter?

A: To count colonies, place the petri dish on the illuminated glass grid plate, and use the adjustable magnification lens for clear visibility. Touch each colony with the electronic pen, or mark with a Sharpie-compatible marker. Each touch increments the digital count and emits an audio beep for verification.

Q: How does the device protect against power issues?

A: The digital colony counter features fuse-protected input, safeguarding the instrument and users against voltage fluctuations or electrical faults while operating on standard 220V AC mains supply.

Q: What are the core components included with the colony counter?

A: Core components include an illuminated glass grid plate, a digital 4-digit LED display, a probe touch pen, and compatibility with marking pens. These elements work together to facilitate efficient and accurate colony counting, with added features like a buzzer indication and adjustable focusing lens.
