About Digital Colony Counter

Colonies on a Petri plate are counted using an equipment known as a digital colony counter. Microbiologists can quickly and precisely count the amount of bacteria or other microorganisms in a sample with this technology, which is very helpful. Our device counts the number of colonies that are lit by shining a light on the Petri dish's surface. For quick and precise counting of bacterial and mould colonies in petri dishes, use a digital colony counter. It is made to count bacterial and mould colonies quickly and precisely.

Effortless & Accurate Colony Counting

Designed for microbiologists, this digital colony counter combines electronic touch-probe counting with a magnified viewing area, ensuring reliable results. Users benefit from quick counts, minimal manual error, and a clearly visible LED display. The audible beep and manual reset functions streamline the workflow, making repeated tasks less tedious and more standardized in busy lab settings.

Practical Design & Construction

With its ABS plastic body and integrated magnifying glass, the counter balances durability with comfortable handling. Its rectangular shape and compact dimensions (255 x 275 x 140 mm) suit crowded laboratory benches. Uniform illumination highlights colonies, while the included marking pen and grid facilitate precise identification and documentation for microbiological analysis.

FAQ's of Digital Colony Counter:

Q: How does the digital colony counter ensure accurate colony counting?

A: The counter uses a soft touch probe to electronically record each colony, displaying the count on a bright red LED. The Wolffhuegel glass grid and 1.7X magnification lens enhance visibility, while the manual reset knob allows for error-free start over. An audible beep confirms each count, further reducing chances of miscounts.

Q: What is the process for using the colony counter in a laboratory?

A: To use, place the Petri dish on the illuminated grid, view colonies through the 1.7X lens, and touch each colony with the counting probe; every touch is electronically registered. Mark colonies with the included pen if desired. Results appear instantly on the 3-digit LED. Reset the count easily using the manual knob when starting a new sample.

Q: When should I use the marker pen during colony counting?

A: The marker pen is provided for marking colonies as they are counted. This is especially useful when colonies are numerous or closely packed, ensuring none are missed or double-counted. Use it concurrently with the touch probe for optimal accuracy in recording colony numbers.

Q: Where can the digital colony counter be operated?

A: This counter is suited for any microbiology laboratory, including research institutions, industrial quality control labs, and educational facilities. Its compact, cordless-capable design and robust construction let it fit both large and small-scale lab environments.

Q: What are the main benefits of using this digital colony counter compared to manual methods?

A: Key advantages include rapid, error-minimized colony enumeration, clear results via an LED display, and reduced eye fatigue thanks to magnification and uniform lighting. The built-in beep provides auditory feedback, and the Wolffhuegel grid further supports systematic and accurate counting.

Q: How does the equipment operate and what is the power requirement?

A: The device operates manually with electronic counting, powered by a mains supply (220V AC, 50Hz) and consumes 10W. Its design allows for cordless operation where a power socket may not be accessible, providing flexibility for laboratory workflows.
