Flash & Go - Automatic Colony Counter |
|
This optical instrument is to be used in conjunction with a Windows Vista or Xp computer to obtain a powerful automatic colony counter.
With optional software it can be used for an unlimited number of new applications besides basic colony count.
This colony counter represents a real alternative to the manual counting due to the simplicity in use, the repetitive results obtained with a high accuracy, and affordable price.
The program upgrade
Flash & Grow Colony Counter System has been designed to offer the microbiology lab full compliance with
FDA 21 CFR Part 11 Rules on Electronic Records and Electronic Signature.
Detailed IQ/OQ validation protocols are available to ensure compliance with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and that results meet regulatory requirements.

| Count all Kinds of colonies in different media types, does not matter what kind of colonies you are counting, the colony counter comes with a high definition color camera which detects colonies of 1/450 inch aprox. The media is not a problem, with the new patented illumination device the transparent/opaque agar are easily processed. |

New Research Supports Effectiveness and Accuracy of IUL Flash & Go Colony Counter An independent study recently published by Fort Valley State University demonstrated that the IUL Flash & Go automated colony counter is an
effective, accurate alternative to the standard method of colony counting.
Moreover the study claims the use of the colony counter increased the overall efficiency of research operations by significantly reducing the time devoted to conventional manual plate count and made tasks easier for data manipulation, analysis and interpretation. |

"The Flash and Grow automatic colony counter has been working out great. It is saving us a lot of time and also saving our eye sight since we don´t have to count all the colonies ourselves. In addition, the training provided at installation time was excellent."
