How has the technology for colony counting changed over the last decade? With advancements in digital technology, lenses, and computational power over the last decade, the capabilities of colony counters have significantly expanded, allowing for higher-resolution images capable of resolving objects in the microns to be analyzed in seconds. In the past, these processes were only possible with expensive equipment such as supercomputers and high-precision niche cameras and optics.
What is AutoCOL? The AutoCOL, developed and manufactured by Synoptics Ltd, is an advanced automated colony counting system designed to revolutionize the process of microbial colony analysis in microbiology laboratories. The system's intuitive software interface ensures ease of use, allowing laboratory technicians to quickly familiarize themselves with the system and perform analyses with minimal training. Devices with the capabilities of the AutoCOL are usually large freestanding devices that take up valuable floor space, but what makes the AutoCOL so impressive is that not only can it automatically process around 1000 plates in a single shift, but all of this ability/power is packed into a benchtop device.
