MicroBio µ3D Microbiological Test System (for Agar Culture Media)
Quantitative (Qualitative) Analysis
The MicroBio µ3D is a microbiological test system based on Time-lapse Shadow Image Analysis. While incubating agar plates as traditionally we do, the system monitors agar plates in certain time interval and detects colonies in microscopic size and counts rapidly, accurately and automatically.
The enumeration graph is provided in real time during incubation process.
