Real-time laboratory incubator ScanStation 200

with colony counter

ScanStation 200 is a unit centralizing incubation, detection and counting of Petri dishes. Colonies are detected & counted as soon as they appear, from the beginning of the incubation. Follow the growth curve of the colonies. ScanStation 200 can accomodate up to 200 Petri dishes. Capacity: up to 200 Petri dishes Counting on pour plate, surface, Spiral, filtration membranes Petri dish sizes: Ø 55 to 65 mm, Ø 90 mm Accuracy of incubation temperature: ± 1°C A revolutionary concept Colony counting is done automatically during incubation. You get a video of the bacterial growth in real time. 1 incubator An incubator of 200 Petri dishes ScanStation 200 is composed of a rotating storage carousel with a 200 Petri dishes capacity. The 200 Petri dishes are processed simultaneously in this thermoregulated incubator with Peltier module ± 1°C. 1 robotic arm A robotic arm transfers the Petri dishes for a time-lapse photography The robotic arm transfers the Petri dishes from the carousel to the camera to perform a time-lapse photography. ScanStation is equipped with a pressure-sensitive gripper which adapts itself to all Petri dishes. 1 automatic colony counter The automatic colony counter detects and counts colonies as soon as they appear The 5 megapixel ultra-HD camera detects colonies as soon as they appear before clustering or covering can occur, while dissociating the artefacts. So that you get more accurate and faster results. You can see the video of bacterial growth during and after incubation. Traceability The data are archived and accessible throughout incubation till the final validation of the results.
