New Research Supports Effectiveness and Accuracy of IUL Flash & Go Colony Counter

An independent study recently published by Fort Valley State University demonstrated that the IUL Flash & Go automated colony counter is an effective, accurate alternative to the standard method of colony counting.

Moreover the study claims the use of the colony counter increased the overall efficiency of research operations by significantly reducing the time devoted to conventional manual plate count and made tasks easier for data manipulation, analysis and interpretation.

Customer Testimonial
The Flash and Grow automatic colony counter has been working out great. It is saving us a lot of time and also saving our eye sight since we don't have to count all the colonies ourselves. In addition, the training provided at installation time was excellent.

Product Description

Colony CounterNeutec Group introduces The Flash & Grow - The first automated colony counter that grows and adapts to your specific micro lab needs. It can be upgraded at any time to fit the level of automation, security and features required.

With numerous Flash & Grow colony counters units installed in a variety of Microbiology laboratories such as Environmental, Food, Pharma, Biotech etc., the IUL Flash & Grow automatic colony counter utilizes cutting edge technology.

 

Modern led illumination, combined with a smart but user friendly colony counting software (installed on Windows Vista or any XP Based computer) together with a high resolution camera, makes for a powerful affordable automatic colony counter system.

 

The “Flash & Grow” Colony Counter System has been designed to offer the microbiology lab full compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 Rules on Electronic Records and Electronic Signature.

 

Detailed IQ/OQ validation protocols are available to ensure compliance with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and that results meet regulatory requirements.

The Flash & Grow counts the majority of colonies on the various media. It’s high resolution color camera can detect and count colonies of aprox. 1/450 inch (0.07mm). The new patented illumination device enables processing of any media type including transparent/opaque agar. 

The “Flash & Grow” automated colony counter modular approach enables laboratories to automate their colony counting processes, inhibition zone Measuring and upgrade them to a higher level of sophistication as necessary and within a budget.

The “Flash & Grow” automatic colony counter represents a real alternative to manual colony counting with its user friendly colony counting & inhibition zone Measuring software, repetitive and accurate results and affordably pricing.
