FAQs of Digital Colony Counters:
Q: How does the digital colony counter ensure accurate colony counting?
A: The device offers a 1.7X magnifying lens, illuminated marking pen, clear white LED lighting, and an accurate 4-digit digital display system with a 1 count precision, making it reliable for high-accuracy counting in microbiological laboratories.
Q: What is the process for operating the digital colony counter?
A: To operate, place the petri plate (up to 90 mm) on the counting plate, use the optical magnifying glass for better viewing, and choose between manual push button or automatic illuminated pen counting. The reset switch allows you to start new counts as needed.
Q: When should I use manual versus automatic counting mode?
A: Manual mode is ideal for smaller sample sizes or when you need more control over each count, while the automatic modeenabled by the illuminated marking penis best for large batch counting, ensuring quick and efficient operation.
Q: Where can the digital colony counter be used?
A: It is designed for use in microbiological laboratories, including research, educational, and clinical settings, across India and internationally, supporting tasks that require colony counting on petri plates.
Q: What benefits does the integrated audible buzzer provide?
A: The buzzer delivers instant audible confirmation of each counted colony, helping users maintain focus and accuracy during prolonged counting tasks and reducing miscounts.
Q: How does the design improve user comfort and efficiency?
A: Ergonomic factors like non-slip rubber feet, mild steel powder coating, rectangular shape, and a built-in pen holder provide stability, durability, and convenient access to tools, enhancing the overall workflow for laboratory professionals.
Q: What equipment materials are used in its construction?
A: The colony counter is made from powder-coated mild steel with metal and plastic parts, providing durability and stain resistance required for busy lab environments.
