A3 Scanner Only. Requires PROC3 or PROC3 Plus
ProcScan is used when working with large size plates either for colony counting or for the measurement of inhibition zones on plates which are too large to fit inside the ProtoCOL 3.
The ProcScan can be connected to a ProtoCOL 3 or a stand alone computer that is running the ProtoCOL 3 software.
When larger plates are being utilised, simply use the ProcScan scanner which can work with plates of up to 300 x 300mm. Images of these plates are scanned directly into the ProtoCOL 3 or the separate PC. Large format plates such as SRD and antibiotic susceptibility testing plates with large grid arrays can easily be scanned and imaged with ProcScan. This combined with the ProtoCOL 3 software makes the reading of these large plates fast, simple and accurate.
ProcScan provides:
- Accurate imaging of larger size plates up to 300mm
- Integrated analysis with ProtoCOL 3 software
- High throughput analysis of large zone plates
- Fully traceable result generation

ProtoCOL 3 is the next generation instrument for colony counting, zone measurements (inhibition and antibiotic susceptibility testing), membranes, PETRIFILM™ plates and a range of other applications including: spiral plates, OPKA (opsonophagocytic killing assay), SBA (serum bactericidal assay), Multi-sector, Multi-well, SRD (single radial immunodiffusion) and Ames. The new design now enables plates of up to 150mm diameter to be automatically read at the press of a button. Designed for use across a wide range of applications, ProtoCOL 3 will count colonies as small as 43 microns (0.043mm) or measure zones accurately to 0.5mm with a theoretical detection limit of 0.1mm.
