"This
high-performance, high-throughput instrument is ideally suited for food testing
laboratories counting E. coli and Listeria and
for pharmaceutical labs testing microbial limits and indicator organisms."
Spiral
Biotech, Inc. is illuminating the way for faster, easier, and more
accurate automated microbial enumeration. The Color QCount® utilizes
the latest digital FireWire™ technology, allowing the user to capture
full color sample images. Its ease of use allows technicians to read
plates quickly and efficiently. This extraordinary time reduction frees
technicians to perform other important responsibilities. The Color QCount
uses patented technology to break through the limitations of clustered
colonies, giving sharp, error-free plate counts.
Spiral Biotech’s Color QCount performance and functionality testing was conducted using the following commercially available chromogenic agar plates:
