About MANUALCOLONY COUNTER schuett count
schuett count Manual colony counter
Designed for reliable and efficient counting of bacterial colonies and bacteriophage plaques growing on nutrient agar or nutrient disks/filter disks in Petri dishes. three modes of illumination from below, from the side and from the top optional.
Precise Manual Counting for Microbiological LaboratoriesDesigned for optimal colony counting, the schuett count offers a manually operated, pressure-sensitive pen that ensures each detected colony is clearly marked and counted. Its adaptability accommodates Petri dishes ranging from 60-120 mm, making it a dependable choice for a wide array of microbiological assays. The glare-free, adjustable LED illumination ensures colonies are unmistakably visible, promoting more accurate results. Built with user-friendly ergonomics in mind, this colony counter simplifies routine laboratory work.
User-Controlled Features with Acoustic and Visual FeedbackWith manual operation, laboratory staff maintain complete control over counting speed, precision, and reset functionality. The clear 3-digit LED display visibly confirms each tally, while an acoustic signal-which can be switched off for silent environments-audibly acknowledges every colony marked. This linkage of pressure-sensitive technology, visual clarity, and optional sound enhances both efficiency and confidence in results.
FAQ's of MANUALCOLONY COUNTER schuett count:
Q: How do I operate the schuett count manual colony counter?
A: To use, place your Petri dish (up to 120 mm in diameter) on the glass dish platform. Employ the included pressure-sensitive pen to gently tap each observed colony. Each tap marks and adds one count, displayed instantly on the LED counter. You can reset the count at any time using the manual reset button.
Q: What benefits does the pressure-sensitive pen offer in colony counting?
A: The pressure-sensitive marking pen provides precise counting by instantly registering each tap as one colony, minimizing human error and enhancing accuracy. The pen also marks picked colonies, assisting in visual tracking during the process.
Q: When should I use the background illumination feature?
A: Utilize the adjustable background illumination whenever you need to enhance visibility of colonies on the Petri dish, especially with opaque or dense agar. This ensures accurate detection under various lighting and sample conditions.
Q: Where can the schuett count manual colony counter be used effectively?
A: This equipment is ideal for microbiological laboratories, research institutions, educational settings, and quality control environments where reliable and manual enumeration of colonies is necessary.
Q: What is the process for resetting the counter to zero?
A: To begin a new count or clear the current tally, simply press the manual reset button located on the device. The LED display will return to zero, ensuring accurate tracking for each new sample.
Q: How do I adjust to different Petri dish sizes?
A: The schuett count is compatible with Petri dishes from 60 to 120 mm. Place your dish on the platform, and use the easy rotation feature for optimal access to all colonies. No special adapter is required.
Q: What are the advantages of using the acoustic signal feature?
A: The optional acoustic signal provides an audible confirmation for each colony counted, reducing the risk of missed colonies during high-throughput counting. It can be switched off for quieter working environments.
