Introduction

This SCAN 300 is one of a family colony counters applicable to a wide range of applications in food safety, pharmacology, environmental monitoring and clinical diagnostics. The SCAN 300 can be used with standard circular Petri dishes. The data system complies fully with CFR21 part 11. The SCAN software provides many automated functions via the windows interface. You can define exclusion zones, different illumination scenarios, cluster separation with the click of a mouse. All the images and data are automatically saved.
The SCAN 300 is a budget friendly economy model using a less expensive medium resolution color CMOS camera but still producing high quality images of the target colonies. The Scan® 300 can read Petri dishes up to 90 mm diameter but does not include the wide range of media capability of other instruments in the range

The Scan® software complies with the FDA guidelines, for electronic signatures, audit trail and secure data. A supervisor level manages user accounts and passwords.
