Digital colony counter Digital colony counter is an indispensable benchtop tool for the busy
microbiologist designed for quick and accurate counting of bacterial and
mold colonies in petri dishes or similar experimental units. Simply place
the petri dish on the illuminated pad and touch the dish with the pen
provided to mark each colony in turn. This causes a count to be registered
on the digital display and audible tone confirms each count made. Marking
the dish with the pen avoids missing colonies or double counting. The
digital count on the display can be reset manually any time by pressing the
reset key provided. Glare-free illumination is essential for optimum
viewing of colonies
Rotary shaking
machine
For proper mixing or making of solution, continuous shaking is necessary.
The shaking becomes difficult when preparing a number of such solutions/
mixtures. Rotary shaking machine is there to help the researchers.
Continuous shaking at variable speed from 10 to 250 RPM single/double or
3-tier platform unit is the feature of this type of instrument. Speed can be
adjusted digitally. Rotary swirling agitation is used extensively in tissue
culture work and other chemical mixing procedures. D.C. motor drives the
shaker mechanism through mechanical transmission with v-belt drive.
Minimum precautionary measures should be taken to maintain the speed,
time, and proper placement of the samples
