Synbiosis launches aCOLade manual colony counter
aCOLade consists of a compact white light box with pressure-controlled back plate and pen attached to an integrated digital counter. Operating aCOLade is quick and simple. As soon as microbiologists touch the Petri dish’s lid with the pen to count a colony, a bleeping sound occurs and the count is automatically added and displayed on the digital counter.
To record results, aCOLade can be connected to any computer and comes with software that allows scientists to automatically transfer their counts to a spreadsheet. Since the data is instantly recorded, this saves users time and also improves result accuracy by reducing the risk of keying errors.
aCOLade has an adjustable plate ring that is used to hold plates as small as 50 mm diameter and can be easily altered to accommodate 90 mm and 120 mm diameter plates, making it suitable for a range of counting applications.
