Automated colony counting and zone sizing

Tuesday, 08 April, 2008 | Supplied by: In Vitro Technologies Pty Ltd


The Synbiosis ProtoCOL automated colony counting and zone sizing systems can be used to speed up testing of antibiotics for therapeutic use and to collect and monitor zone size data for surveillance purposes.
The ProcoCOL systems can read an entire plate, including measurement of inhibition zones and transcription of results, in minutes. This improves the accuracy of results by eliminating manual measurement and transcription errors.
The software can measure inhibition zones with a resolution better than 0.5 mm from the edge of an abtibiotic disc to automatically produce data on the zone size only. This will save scientists’ time because they will be able to perform tests with different antibiotic disc sizes on one plate without having to measure and subtract disc diameter sizes from their calculations.
The ProcoCOL is fully GLP compliant, with the data generated automatically transcribed into Excel or transferred to a LIMS system to allow results to be safely stored or statistically analysed.
