AutoCOL, Fully Automated Colony Counting System

The AutoCOL is a fully automated colony counting system designed to efficiently count microbial colonies. It utilizes advanced technology for precise, traceable, and reproducible colony counts.

Key features include:

• Walk-Away Design: The system features an integrated plate feeder, colony counter, and software based on Synbiosis' ProtoCOL technology. It can automatically remove plate lids and count colonies on up to 100, 90 mm plates in under an hour.
• Intuitive Software: The touch-screen software, connectable via USB, allows for easy setup of automatic plate reads and batch optimization. It includes features for setting user access levels, establishing pass/fail limits, and facilitating the organization of plates in the feeder.
• Accurate Counts: Using three-colour lighting and a sensitive camera, AutoCOL captures full-colour images of microbial colonies, ensuring precise counts.
• Fully Traceable: The system is compatible with 1D barcode readers and can export data in various formats (XLS, PDF, CSV) or directly to your LIMS. This feature ensures data security and full audit compliance with 21 CFR Part 11.
• Flexible Applications: Ideal for high-throughput colony counting, AutoCOL is being tested in regulated environments like pharmaceutical and microbiology labs for applications including microbial environmental monitoring, limit testing, and efficacy testing.
