ScanStation 100

Real-time incubator and colony counter

1. INCUBATOR & AUTOMATIC COLONY COUNTER
ScanStation:
1 incubator of 100 Petri dishes
+ 1 robotic arm transfers the Petri dishes 
+ 1 automatic ultra-HD colony counter

2. PRINCIPLE 
 100 Petri dishes are counted every 30 minutes or every hour throughout the process. Colonies are detected and counted as soon as they appear

3. RESULTS 
 Sooner: Detection of the colonies is made at an early stage of their development so the result is known 3 x sooner than with traditional methods, for example 8h instead of 24h. 
 Faster : 100 Petri dishes are processed simultaneously: colony counting is done automatically during incubation. 
 Accurate : Colonies are detected before clustering or covering can occur, and are differenciated from writings and debris.

4. REAL-TIME BACTERIAL GROWTH

 Anticipated results: Automation of colony counting during incubation saves time and allows earlier release of production batches. 
 Real-time control: discover bacterial growth hour-by-hour and see the video during and after incubation with zoom, pause and replay features… 
 Zoom : zoom directly on the image to check the state of the colonies and closely study their development.

 Full traceability: data is archived and available throughout incubation up to final validation of the results.

5. INNOVATIVE FEATURES - PATENTS PENDING 
 Robotic architecture: The incubator includes a robotic architecture with a 100 Petri dishes carousel, an ultra rigid robotic arm for more accuracy and durability and an ultra-HD automatic colony counter. 
 Pressure sensitive gripper: This high precision gripper fits to the Petri dishes rightside or upside down, grabs them from the carousel and moves them to the image capture zone every 30 minutes or 1 hour. 
 Incubator with Peltier effect: Peltier modules allow a temperature regulation of ± 1 °C, low energy consumption, no fluid nor compressor. 
 Ultra HD image: With white LED lighting and 5 million pixels, ultra HD camera enables accurate counting and detection of the colonies from their early development. 
 Touch screen interface: Makes it easier to navigate through the software and gives real time access to the Petri dish data. 
 Multibatch : The loading of Petri dishes can be done at the beginning or during the incubation. Petri dish batches can be added at any point during the process.
