Interscience Scan 500 436000

Scan 500 (Ref. 436 000) is an HD automatic colony counter and inhibition zone reader designed for microbiology laboratories. It performs automatic colony counting on round Petri dishes (Ø 55–90 mm), including pour, surface, spiral and circle plated dishes, and supports counting on chromogenic media. The unit captures and saves images and results for traceability and further analysis.

• Minimum detectable colony size: 0.1 mm
• Camera: 1 megapixel CMOS color camera with digital zoom x28 and M12 lens
• Counting range: Ø 55–90 mm Petri dishes; pour, surface, spiral and circle plating
• Lighting system: 6 automatic combinations (top/bottom, white/black background)
• Dimensions (W×D×H): 28.7 × 27.1 × 28.9 cm; Net weight: 8.38 kg
• Delivered with: Scan software, 15 V power supply, USB/connection cable, 3 validation plates, user manual, conformity certificate

Advantages:

• Fast and reproducible automatic counting with saved images and results for traceability
• Capability to count on chromogenic agar and detect multiple colors on the same dish
• High sensitivity and resolution enabling detection of colonies as small as 0.1 mm
• Integrated inhibition zone reading for antimicrobial testing alongside colony counting
