AnalytikJena ColonyDoc-It Imaging System

Product Description

The AnalytikJena ColonyDoc-It Imaging Station provides fast, accurate colony counting in an innovative colony counter design. It is the ideal tool to visualize white light and fluorescent colonies, enabling researchers to quickly and accurately count colonies with the intuitive, quick click software interface. Users can easily process time lapse counting, zone sizing and spiral counting. The ColonyDoc-It system streamlines colony counting research with multiple excitation sources to visualize white light and fluorescent colonies including GFP colonies, and a high resolution digital color camera to identify the smallest colonies.

The integrated digital color camera lets you quickly capture and see all of the details in your colony sample. The high resolution capabilities allow capture of images down to 0.08mm. No need to adjust camera buttons, since the camera is easily controlled by the software.

The ColonyDoc-It software loads on your computer (not included with system) for camera control, image capture and analysis. The software enables automatic and manual colony counting capabilities. Users can define specific counting parameters including color differentiation, splitting or merging colonies, identifying filters by group or size. Users can create templates for specific camera settings and analysis functions, allowing the same settings to be selected each time an experiment is run.

Generate fast automatic and accurate colony counting with detailed statistics. The accurate count and statistical reporting functions enable researchers to immediately identify and determine experimental parameters that are critical for colony growth and inhibition. The software generates statistics and displays the most critical information about the colony area, perimeter, average diameter and circularity. The data is easily exported into Excel.
