The SphereFlash® is an automatic colony counter that meets all the requirements for modern microbiology laboratories.
- Patented spherical chamber eliminates reflections in both colonies and Petri plates
- Uniform illumination, and improved image capture for better, more reliable, and consistent results
- Easy and intuitive software; even the LITE version will detect a wide range of colony types with minimal or no user parametrisation
- One-size-fits-all; adapters and centering devices are designed to fit various diameters, and enable plate switching at anytime
- Easy and automatic generation of customised statistical reports, including all the selected plates
- SphereFlash® can detect colonies of 0,3 mm using colonies LITE software and 0,046 mm using colonies PRO software
- For indoor use only (operating temperature: 15 to 30 °C)
SphereFlash® is a one-size-fits-all solution that automatically reads different types of plates with the same instrument. With its colony Lite software version, it performs colony counting in a simple and reliable way thanks to its world class software and its patented built-in lighting system. For higher demands, the software can be upgraded to colonies PRO to increase its capabilities, such as setting user permission levels, LIMS connectivity, worksheets, barcode scanning, reporting, audit trail, or CFR21 Part 11. With the optional Halos PRO app, the SphereFlash® unit can be transformed to measure inhibition halos accepting various circle approximation criteria to obtain the corresponding diameters of virtual circle areas.
In all versions, lighting occurs through LEDs oriented to the internal wall of a moving spherical chamber. The result is an unprecedented uniform and reflection-free illumination in a colony counter device. The moving sphere automatically closes the chamber and shields the area in which the Petri dish is located from any external light. It avoids any reflection or interference of external light, creating a luminous atmosphere without reflections of the walls of the Petri dish or the colonies. For transparent media, the light by transmission is also available in all versions.
