The IncuCount™ Colony Counter

 

 

 

 

 

The IncuCount can automatically count colonies at the touch of a button! It can count poured plates, spread plates, spiral plates, Petrifilm and even clustered or adnated colonies. The device can be hooked up to nearly any computer by simply plugging in the USB cable. With its compact size, the IncuCount can fit inside most incubators to monitor the growth rate of molds and bacteria by working like a stop motion camera.

The IncuCount is the lowest cost, full color-capable, automatic colony counter available!

• Automatically monitors the growth and multiplication of colonies
• Automatically measure and monitor inhibition zones
• Sequential imaging within an incubated environment
• Designed to fit inside most incubators
• Automatic emailing capability
• Animate growth on a Petri plate using sequential imaging
• Sophisticated yet easy to use software!
• Manufactured in the USA
  

Unique Features

The IncuCount is the only automatic colony counter that can monitor the colonies during their growth phase. The 6.25” diameter, 7” tall cylindrical shape enables the IncuCount’s most remarkable feature, the ability to operate inside a bench top incubator.  Operating the IncuCount inside an incubator, (at temperatures up to 60 degrees C) permits the user to monitor colony growth in real time. And by using the automated email and sequential imaging functions, users can be sent images and colony growth data as frequently as they choose, around the clock, over the weekend, and around the world. No more Monday morning colony growth surprises. In addition, sequential imaging during actual incubation may reveal previously unknown variations in growth rate.

For colonies that must be grown in an inverted Petri dish, the IncuCount may be operated upside down.

A Carl Zeiss multi element lens, paired with a high definition camera, consistently captures crystal clear images. Reflection free imaging of covered Petri dishes is made possible by 3 modes of user selectable, lifetime LED lighting, and a unique reflection free black interior.

Great Value

With state-of-the-art, color-capable automated colony counters costing between $10,000 and $25,000, many labs can not even consider making this financial investment. The IncuCount is the first full featured,color-capable automatic colony counter and software to sell for under $10,000.

Easy to Use

The IncuCount comes with some of the most innovative, yet easy to use software that can be installed on almost any computer with a USB port. The intuitive software easily counts colonies on poured plates, spread plates, spiral plates, Petrifilm and even clustered or adnated colonies. Antibiotic inhibition zones can be automatically measured. With full color capabilities, colonies of up to 10 different types can by assigned a different color. This allows easy differentiation for the human eye, while the IncuCount provides individual tallies for up to 10 different colony types on one plate. Spend more time on your research and less time maneuvering your way through a confusing, awkward computer program!

The RevSpin™ RS-Series Mini-Centrifuge

 

The RevSpin™ compact centrifuges have over twice the capacity of competing palm-sized mini-centrifuges, multiple speeds, and a max RCF over three times that of competitors. Unique vertical loading makes the RevSpin™ friendlier to use. Fast and easy enough for a quick spin-down, yet powerful enough to be all you need for most DNA applications, there simply is no comparison.

C112 Model Centrifuge                              C220 Model Centrifuge

C112

The C112 is a compact, countertop centrifuge with a 4-position switch: Off/Pulse/6,000 RPM/10,000 RPM. The high capacity 16-position rotor receives 1.5 or 2.0 ml tubes. Oversized soft rubber base absorbs vibration and stops bench walking. Rapid slow down, from 10,000 RPM to zero in approximately 20 seconds.

• Stronger, faster, and more than twice the capacity of competing palm-sized microcentrifuges
• Easily the most powerful centrifuge in its price range
• Fast enough for DNA research, but inexpensive enough for any lab or individual at just $275
