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 | Reflected Lighting: | Ring of 54 white LED | | Transmitted Lighting: | Two High Flux Led | | Background field: | Dark or Bright | | Imaging Device: | CMOS with fixed focus lens. | | Image field: | 97 x 97 mm | | Minimum colony size: | 0.06 mm | | Image capture: | True color, 24 bits per pixel | | Image resolution: | 1536 x 1536 pixels. | | Mains: | 100/240V AC, 50/60 Hz | | Power Consumption: | 40W | | Operating Temperature: | 5º a 40ºC | | Operating Relative Humidity: | 10% to 90% | | Dimensions (WxHxD): | 18 x 36 x 22cm | | Weight: | 5.4kg | | PC RECOMMENDED REQUIREMENTS | | The PC hosting the Flash & Go colony counter must comply with some minimum requirements to support both the Flash&Go software and the Image Capture hardware and software. | | Pentium IV, 1.7GHz Processor or higher | | Windows Xp upgraded with last versions of DirectX and Dot Net utilities or Windows Vista. | | 1024 Mbytes RAM memory or higher, available for the application. | | Hard drive with 500 Mbytes free, after all operational system upgrades are installed. | | CD-ROM disk drive | | The colony counter unit needs | -1 USB 2.0 and 1 RS232 or -2 USB 2.0 | | Specifications subject to change without notice | |
