Please note: This item is usually in stock and will ship within 2 business days. Designed for rapid and accurate counting of bacterial and mould colonies.
The Stuart colony counter is easy to use. Simply place the Petri-dish on the electronic pressure pad and touch the dish with a felt tip pen to mark each colony in turn. Touch pressure causes a count to be registered on the digital display and an audible tone confirms each count made. Marking the dish with a felt tip pen avoids missing colonies or double counting, although any suitable implement may be used to apply pressure to the dish. The sensitivity of the electronic pressure pad is adjustable to suit the user. A built-in averaging facility allows multiple plates to be counted and then the average colony count calculated.
Optimum viewing of colonies is aided by peripheral, glare-free illumination. There is also a black background facility for difficult translucent cultures. The SC6 is supplied with one Wolffhuegel graticule and segmentation disc and two centering adaptors, to facilitate use with 50-100mm dishes. A magnifier is available as an optional extra for counting very small colonies. - Pressure sensitive count system
