Synbiosis™ Protos 3 Colony Counter

Description

The Protos 3 is an ergonomically designed imaging unit with dark screens to eliminate ambient light effects and improve imaging results. The unit contains a high-resolution camera with red, blue and green LED lighting (patent pending) and software with validation plate. The software features a single user level with on screen commands, allowing users to intuitively set their system up in minutes. These settings can be saved to make analysing the same plate types later, a quick one touch process. Comes as standard for Count, Spiral and Dilution series counting and Chromogenic identification. No other options available and no LIMS connectivity.
