Counting E. coli colonies is easy. Counting pseudo-invisible, sausage-shaped colonies and excluding yellow circular ones isn’t. Oh wait, yes it is, I have a PhenoBooth.
WHAT IS IT?:
The PhenoBooth Colony Counter is a fast, super-easy to use, closed-chamber Colony Counter for imaging and analysis of colonies on agar.
It uses a scientific grade, HD camera, and 4-channel, flat-field SpectraStar™ incident and transmission illumination to capture high-resolution colony images from Petri dishes and SBS plates.
WHY DO I NEED IT?:
Pick the hits that interest you – Filter colonies by: size, colour, circularity and brightness
Get the best results – Second to none. Top quality illumination and photography for top quality analysis
Analyse anything – Select from any of 3 SpectraStar™ incident illumination channels: white, blue and ultraviolet or 1 transmission illumination channel. Also accepts standard 25mm colour filters
Remove variables – Batch processing and analysis of your plates with a single click
Stop wasting effort – Nothing compares. E. coli, fungi or phage plaques: detect it all. Detect every colony, every time, even at 6,144 array density
Future-proof your lab – Application-specific software packages, such as Colony Screening or Colony Picking are integrated seamlessly with additional plug-ins available for advanced functionality.
READ BEFORE YOU START!:
Remove plate lids before imaging. If lids are in place when the input tray is closed, the machine will crash and may be damaged.
Keep your hands clear while the input tray is moving. Catching your hands in the input tray may cause injury.
Ensure power supply is the correct way round. Plugging the power supply into the PhenoBooth upsidedown will cause damage to the machine. See p.10 for details.
Avoid plugging the USB 3.0 cable in slowly. A common error with all USB 3.0 devices is that they are recognised as USB 2.0. This happens when the USB plug is inserted too slowly.
Remove plate and petri adaptor before moving PhenoBooth. If you need to move the PhenoBooth for any reason, make sure any plates are removed from the machine as well as the petri dish adaptor. These items can fall from the input tray and become lodged inside the PhenoBooth.

INTRODUCTION:
