Counting range
Pour and surface plating
Counting of pour and surface plating mode on Ø 55 - 90 mm Petri dishes
Spiral plating
Counting of Spiral plating mode on Ø 55 - 90 mm Petri dishes
Circle plating
Counting of circle plating mode on Ø 55 - 90 mm Petri dishes
Chromogenic agar
Detection up to 7 colours on the same dish. The selection of the colour can be set directly on that of the characteristic colony. A slider adjusts the sensitivity. The reading of chromogenic media allows the detection of Salmonella on XLD medium and E.Coli on TBX medium.
Inhibition zone measurement
Inhibition zone measurement with EUCAST 2020, CA-SFM 2020, CLSI and customizable databases.
