INTERSCIENCE ScanStation 200 real-time incubator and colony counter – A real-time automated colony monitoring and counting system, offering a comprehensive solution for microbiology laboratories by integrating incubation, detection, and automated colony counting on up to 200 Petri dishes.

Overview of INTERSCIENCE ScanStation 200 real-time incubator and colony counter

The INTERSCIENCE ScanStation 200 automatic incubator and colony counter (Ref. 439 200) is an analytical instrument integrating real-time incubation, detection, and colony counting from Interscience (France). The device enables colony monitoring from the earliest stages of formation with a capacity of up to 200 Petri dishes, reducing analysis time up to 3-fold compared to traditional methods.

Outstanding features

Capacity of up to 200 Petri dishes with an incubation temperature accuracy of ± 1°C.
Scanning and reading intervals between dishes can be flexibly set to 30-minute or 1-hour cycles.
Compatible with Ø 55 to 65 mm, Ø 90 mm Petri dishes, and Petrifilm™ plates.
Supports various counting methods including pour plating, surface plating, Spiral plating, membrane filtration, contact plates, and air sampling.

Applications

Microbiological testing and rapid product release support in food manufacturing.
Microbiological safety control in pharmaceutical and cosmetic production lines.
Microbiological analysis and monitoring in veterinary testing laboratories.
