Automatic Colony Counter

The MICA Fluorescence Counter enables the counting of objects on a membrane, including microcolonies. The MICA Fluorescence counter's software analyzes the high-resolution snapshots of each membrane taken by the optical system to ascertain the precise number of objects present on the membrane.input:
output:An extraordinarily high level of sensitivity that enables the identification of microorganisms in their earliest culturable stageMICA is capable of detecting and counting microorganisms at their microcolony stage due to its unparalleled optical resolution in the field of colonies counters.input:
output:Smartscan that is automated

Bright field and fluorescence detectioninput:
output:A solution that is both user-friendly and easy to implement, which is semi-automatic

MICA is a turnkey solution that is user-friendly and easy to implement for all technicians. The operator is guided through a simplified protocol that is tailored to the specific microorganism. The conventional culture method yields fewer uninterpretable results, while the automatic counting of microcolonies is more efficient.input:
output:Example of a format: A membrane with a diameter of 48 mm is considered standard.Type of detection: Fluorescence and bright field
