Automatic colony counter MICA Fluorescence

benchtopdigitalfluorescence

The MICA Fluorescence Counter makes it possible to count objects (such as micro colonies) on a membrane. The optical system of the counter takes very high-resolution snapshots of each membrane, which are then analyzed by the MICA Fluorescence counter’s software to determine the precise number of objects present on the membrane. An extreme sensitivity allowing to detect microorganisms at their early culturable stage Thanks to an unmatched optical resolution among colonies counters, MICA is capable of detecting and counting microorganisms at their microcolony stage. Automated Smartscan Fluorescence detection and bright field A semi-automatic solution, easy to use and to implement Designed as a turnkey solution, MICA is easy to use and to implement, by all technicians. The operator is guided step-by-step through a simplified protocol according to the targeted microorganism. The automatic counting of microcolonies ensures fewer uninterpretable results than traditional culture method, faster Sample format: Standard membrane 48 mm diameter Detection type: Fluorescence and bright field Obtained result: Total number of microcolonies per sample Diameter of detected objects: > 10 μm Quantitative method: Yes Membrane transfer tool: Anodized aluminum reusable cassette Number of transfer cassettes supplied: 2 Detection area: 38 mm diameter on the membrane Type of scan: Automated and multi-color smart scan Number of images per membrane: 70 Focus: Preset focus Light source: High intensity, low consumption LED
