Data integrity

Scan Ai receives and sends information from LIMS and/or dataLink and digitizes the counting. All the data from the analysis are traceable and auditable. The results are validated by a double electronic signature. Thanks to account management, you have multi-level access for the validation of results. This solution thus ensures the reliability and security of data in accordance with FDA guidelines, 21 CFR Part 11 and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) Annex 11.

Traceability and printing of results

Scan 3000 Ai connects to the LIMS in bi-directionality and can be connected to the diluter and plater via dataLink, a traceability system. It offers multiple export possibilities to save time on manual entry and thus increase the security and quality of your analyses.

Export your results to your PC or archive them in CSV, Excel™, OpenOffice™, PDF, SCA, BIO format. You can also export images from the camera in JPEG, PNG and BMP format.

All your data on the Petri dish with dataLink

With dataLink, the sample is monitored from the plating to the automatic colony counting.

Set the parameters for the label to be adhered to the side of the plate. The colony counting is then optimized.

White LED Dome lighting,
reflection and shadow free

Petri dishes are difficult to light, because they are transparent and reflective. Heterogeneous lighting often creates artifacts on the meniscus of the agar and on the edge of the plate. These artifacts are counted as colonies or prevent perfect counting.

We have designed a white diffusing dome that provides 360° lighting for the plate, without any reflection or shadow. The light is diffused from all points, and provides lighting without artifacts for counting even on the edge of the plate.

Applications

Scan 3000 Ai is used for colony counting by artificial intelligence on a wide range of different media, techniques and culture media for QC. The equipment enables spiral counts and Petrifilm™ reading with accuracy and repeatability. Interpretation of chromogenic media is also available.
