Colony Counting
A colony count is the number of bacterial or fungal colonies grown on a Petri dish, used to estimate the microbes in a sample. Hintron colony counters mark each colony with an electronic pen and add it to the count, so every colony is counted once.

Questions
Frequently asked
How does the electronic marking pen count?
Each touch of the pen on a colony marks it on the dish and adds one to the count on the 6-digit display. Nothing is counted twice, and the marks show which colonies are done.
What if I count a colony by mistake?
Press the ▼ key under CORRECTION to take one off the count. RESET clears the display for the next dish.
What dish sizes does the counter take?
Petri dishes up to Ø 110 mm. The dish sits on an evenly lit counting plate under a 1.7× magnifier on an adjustable arm.
