SimPlate®
An improved counting method developed to overcome the limitations of other counting methods, the SimPlate system with Binary Detection TechnologyTM is a technological advancement in counting methods. The combination of pre-measured media and patented plating device provide accurate, easy-to-read results days faster than agar plate or film methods.
Key Advantages:
- Faster Results
- Fewer Dilutions, with a maximum counting range of 738
- Easy to Prepare, SimPlate media comes pre-measured and
ready-to-hydrate - Easy to Read Results are distinguishable at a glance
- Reproducible, provides consistency across users
- Less Interference, the SimPlate device minimises the effects of swarming bacteria and spreading molds
- AOAC Approvals for TPC, E.coli Coliforms, and Yeast and Molds
Colony Counters
Colony counters provide easier reading, faster results and reduces labour for microbial enumeration.
Scan® 100 is an advanced manual colony counter. Scan 100 incorporates dark field lighting technology for visual clarity and reading comfort, and results can be exported via USB.
Scan® 500 is a high-tech automatic colony counter. It counts colonies on a Petri dish in less than half a second and gives you quick, accurate, complete and traceable reading of the results.
With its CCD camera and a powerful software, it allows the automatic counting of poured plates, spread plates and Spiral® plates.
Scan® 1200 offers even higher resolution, and counts all colonies, even on smallest poured, spread, filtration membrane and Spiral® Petri dishes. Scan 1200 is also compatible with various proprietary plate such as PetriFilm™.
AssureSwab
The Biocontrol AssureSwab is a ready to use swab containing 1ml of Letheen Broth for the collection of environmental samples. The swab saves preparation time and labour, and the liquid can easily be transferred by pouring, saving the hassle of pipetting.
Polywipe
Polywipes from Medical Wire are a 50cm2 sponge ideal for sampling large surface areas when detecting the presence of pathogens, such as Listeria. Polywipes are premoistened with a phosphate buffer for convenience, and manufactured from non-inhibitory materials to increase recovery of organisms.
