Interscience Scan 4000 438000

Scan 4000 is an automatic color colony counter and ultra‑HD inhibition zone reader designed to count colonies and measure inhibition zones on Petri dishes for pharmaceutical, medical research and veterinary applications. It adapts to all Petri plate sizes up to 150 mm (round) and 120 mm (square), provides high‑resolution image acquisition and exports archived results and images in multiple formats for traceability and reporting. The system includes integrated antibiotic interpretation databases (EUCAST, CA‑SFM, CLSI) and software features such as 21 CFR Part 11 compliance for audit trails and user rights management. Reference: 438 000.
