Semi-automatic Bacterial Colony Counter

Bacterial Colony Counter Feature:

BCC-2 is consists of counter, sensor,counting cell etc, reasonable design which can give a visible colony comparing, easy to observe, couple with special pen, it will be ring when count and ensure the accuracy of the testing, apply to Petri dish from φ50-φ100mm, the magnification is variable, It is a necessary instrument for all levels of health and epidemic prevention stations.

1. Energy-saving round fluorescent lamps for side illumination and sharp colony contrast.

2. High degree of automation reduces the need for manpower and improves work efficiency.

3. Clear colony counter scale, easy to read at a glance

4. Adopts easy-to-clean material; just wipe it with a wet towel

5. Suitable for use in hospitals, biopharmaceuticals, clinics, university research centers and other areas.

6. Equipped with a counting pen probe, it can accurately count each colony to avoid errors.

7. 9X magnification makes the colonies visible and the details more clearly defined.

Semi-automatic bacterial colony counter applications:

Semi-automatic bacterial colony counters are tools used in microbiological laboratories to assist in the counting of bacterial colonies on agar plates. These devices help in automating the counting process and reduce the risk of human error. Some of the common applications and steps in using semi-automatic bacterial colony counters are as follows.

1. Preparation of agar plates: Before using a colony counter, you need to prepare agar plates with bacterial samples. A known dilution of the bacterial solution is applied to the surface of the agar and the colonies are allowed to grow.

2. Capture the image: Place the agar plate containing the colonies under a suitable light source. Capture an image of the agar plate in a colony counter using a camera or integrated camera system. Ensure proper lighting for optimal image quality.

3. Transferring images to software: Transfer the captured images to the software associated with the semi-automatic colony counter. This software is used to analyse the images and assist in the counting of bacterial colonies.

4. Image Analysis: The software will analyse the image and identify individual bacterial colonies. It can use algorithms to distinguish between colonies and background based on factors such as size, shape and colour.

5. Adjustment of parameters: Some colony counters allow the user to adjust analysis parameters to optimise the accuracy of colony detection. This may include setting minimum and maximum size thresholds or adjusting sensitivity.

6. Reviewing and confirming results: After the initial analysis, the software usually provides a preliminary count of bacterial colonies. Review the results and manually confirm or adjust the count if necessary.

7. Export data: After the counting process is complete and validated, export the data. This may include colony counts, size and other relevant information.

8. Interpret data: Analyse the collected data for further insights. This may involve calculating colony forming units (cfu) per unit volume or evaluating the efficiency of an antimicrobial treatment.

By using semi-automatic bacterial colony counters, laboratories can increase efficiency, reduce the time required for colony counting and improve the accuracy of microbiological analyses.
