Colony counter QUANTOM Tx™

celldigitalfluorescence

No more waiting days to count CFUs. In less than 30 seconds, the QUANTOM Tx™ scans up to 10 fields of view to produce accurate single bacterial cell counts. The advanced software can account for the varying shapes, sizes, and arrangements of different bacteria. Although smaller and simpler than their eukaryotic counterparts, bacteria are an incredibly diverse group of organisms that come in multiple shapes, sizes, and arrangements. Colony counting is a highly variable and unreliable, as it is only an estimate of the viable cells present. Even expensive flow cytometers and laser scanning cytometers register each particle, single or clustered, as a single event. The QUANTOM Tx™ Microbial Cell Counter is an image-based, automated cell counter that can detect individual bacterial cells in mere minutes. Its novel bacteria-optimized cell detection software can count individual bacterial cells in even the tightest clusters. RESULTS IN MINUTES, NOT DAYS Minutes to results No culturing required ACCURATE RESULTS Objective and no user-to-user variability No estimating based on colony forming units or turbidity SINGLE BACTERIUM DETECTION Regardless of cell shape, size, or arrangement Advanced bacterial cell counting software TOTAL & VIABLE CELL COUNTS Fluorescence stains for accurate cell detection Multiple images captured and analyzed
