Synbiosis ProtoCol3 Automated Colony Counter and Zone Measurement System with 3-Channel LED Lighting
Product Description
The Synbiosis ProtoCol3 is an advanced automated colony counting and zone measurement system widely used in microbiology, clinical diagnostics, and biotechnology research, including vaccine development and molecular diagnostics workflows. Key features include:
- 1.4 megapixel CMOS camera for high-resolution imaging
- Unique 3 channel LED lighting system enabling full-color images and versatile color classification on a single plate
- Supports measurements of microbial colonies as small as 43 microns (0.043 mm)
- Accurate zone measurement down to 0.5 mm, with a theoretical detection limit of 0.1 mm, ideal for inhibition zone assays such as AST (antimicrobial susceptibility testing), SBA, and OPKA
- Compatible with a wide variety of plate formats: pour plates, spiral plates, multi-well plates, Ames test plates, and standard inhibition zone assays
- GLP, GMP, and 21 CFR Part 11 compliance with a comprehensive audit trail, ensuring regulatory standards important in biopharmaceutical production pipelines
- Designed for high throughput environments, enabling rapid and automatic counting and zone measurement with instant data transfer to internal reporting systems
- Sample holder options for light or dark backgrounds optimize imaging quality depending on sample type
- Suitable for plates sized from 30 mm to 150 mm diameter, supporting a broad range of laboratory assays
This system is critical for clinical microbiology laboratories, bioprocessing units, and synthetic biology research requiring precise, automated colony analysis and inhibition zone quantification. Its integration into biotechnological applications such as gene editing screening and molecular cloning workflows highlights its essential role in modern biomedical engineering and microbial phenotyping. The ProtoCol3 uniquely combines optical precision, software flexibility, and compliance standards to deliver reproducible, high-throughput bacterial colony and zone measurement critical in cutting-edge laboratory research.
