Contrasting colony lighting: Dark  Field 2

Dark Field 2 is an indirect lighting system with adjustable intensity. Light reflectors diffuse the light at all points without any reflections or shadows. It makes all colonies stand out on the surface, in the mass and around the edge of the dish. Flashes of light are eliminated and the operator’s eyes are protected.

Touch surface with adjustable sensitivity

Counting with Scan 50 pro is intuitive: count the colonies on your dish, the touch surface is doubled by a sound or light signal.

Ergonomics redesigned

Audio Comfort
  • •9 different sounds and headphones jack to work without disturbing colleagues
Light signal
  • •Light signal for each counted colony
Optimal working posture
  • •Inclined reading surface with magnifying lens (optional), hand rest and HandPad
  • •Prevents Musculo-Skeletal Disorders

HandPad

Scan 50 pro is equipped with a HandPad, an ambidextrous armrest. It can be slid to either side with a single movement and turns the machine on. Resting the arm when counting prevents Musculoskeletal Disorders caused by unsuitable equipment and poor posture.

The colony counter is also suitable for both right and left-handed users thanks to the duplicated counting keys on each side of the keyboard.

Easy to clean and disinfect

To keep the workstation clean, the glass and the smooth handrest are removable. Easy to disinfect, they ensure perfect hygiene of the workstation.

Traceability

Save time by exporting the data recorded during the count via USB, LIMS, spreadsheet or text format. You will avoid errors rewriting the results. You can also connect a barcode reader for data transmission.

Warranty

Scan 50 pro colony counters have 3-YEAR warranty (parts and labour) just by sending the warranty card back.

Applications

Scan 50 pro is used for microbiological analyses in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, environmental, veterinary industries and public research institutes.

Its Dark Field 2 system facilitates enumeration on Petri dishes by optimising the contrast, especially when analyzing samples for environmental monitoring or quality control of finished products.
