Colony Counter

ASC-2000 automatic colony counter consists of a colony counting machine, a high performance all-in-one computer and a barcode scanner.  

It is equipped with a digital imaging system, an AI colony counting system, a nano-level light source system, powerful colony counting algorithm and an enclosed petri dish holding chamber, the ASC-2000 has the advantages of automation, imaging and systematization compared to traditional colony counters.

Features:

• "Zero-click" operation: Automatically recognize the counting area, instant shooting
• Convenient operation: simple and clear system interface
• Lightning counting: 1000cfu per second
• Results high accuracy: internal and adherent areas of the culture dish are all counted;
• Use the Watershed algorithm to segment fusion colonies to ensure accurate results
• Flexible design: suitable for multi-size, different models of culture dishes
• Sterilization function: UV disinfection and sterilization to avoid cross-contamination
• Scan recording: Supports QR code or barcode recording
• Ultra-high definition camera: 20 million pixels

Functions:

• Digital imaging system

12 million pixel lens

1.1" large target surface, wide field of view (150*150mm)

Counting for Multi-size culture dishes

SONY IMX183 series CMOS

20 million pixel color high-definition camera

1" photosensor, clearer shooting, and more abundant details

• Colony Counting System

English version, User friendly software interface

Two modes for selection: petri dish with membrane and normal petri dish, to satisfy most using situations;

Advanced image processing algorithm: better determining, segmenting and counting of the colony.

Can connected with LIMIS system

Conform to 21 CFR Part 11 requirements

Result traceability: photo storage in the computer

Result export: pdf, jpg, bmp, png, excel

• Lighting system

The bottom backlight and the left and right side light sources are arranged with high-density LEDs, matched with a nano-level diffuse reflector, the light is soft, and the colonies from the center to the edge can be uniformly illuminated to highlight the outline.

• Optimization analysis algorithm for petri dish with membrane

The colony recognition algorithm designed for the petri dish with membrane can accurately segment and count the shallow colonies on the membrane.

• Closed chamber for petri dish

Simple metal chassis;

Drop-down hovering board in the chamber to effectively block the interference of ambient light and ensure the imaging effect.

In-built 254nm UV lamp, can kill the internal contaminated colonies and meet the needs of ultraviolet mutagenesis of special bacteria.

Pulling down the hovering board can effectively block UV rays to ensure safe use.

Applications：

Colony Counter for Microbial Test (ASC-2000) can be widely used in biopharmaceuticals, medical and health care, inspection and quarantine, food safety, life sciences, air quality monitoring and water quality monitoring etc.
