Performance and flexibility
Scan® 500 and Scan® 1200 allow efficient work flow because you can create and edit a list of antibiotics, useful for routine analysis.

Measured by Scan®, inhibition zones and agar wells guarantee repeatability and reproducibility of analysis and diagnosis reliability.

• Rapid detection: up to 8 antibiotic sensitivities in 1 click
• Inhibition zones and agar wells may be manually added or deleted

Medical analysis
Inhibition zone measurement allows you to test the efficiency of antibiotics on micro-organisms to accelerate the diagnosis in order to choose precisely an appropriate antibiotic treatment for a patient. Scan® has a built-in antibiotic database from the French Society of Microbiology (CA-SFM) which determines the sensitivity of the bacteria to the antibiotic. This database is fully editable.

Pharmaceutical analysis
In the pharmaceutical industry, Scan® allows you to test the quality of an antibiotic during its manufacturing process by measuring the inhibition zones. The agar well measurement allows you to evaluate the action of an antibiotic.

Optimum visualization
Enjoy comfortable viewing of the colonies with the unequalled Dark Field technology (double oblique tangent and crossed light), high definition live image and with the automatic optimization of the image (lighting, contrast and sensitivity). You can also check key areas thanks to the digital zoom.

Easy-to-use
All Scan® functions are in one single window and colonies are counted in one click. The Scan® easy commands (visualization, settings and results) allow quick access to both ongoing and archived work sessions. Scan® software is available in 5 languages (English, French, Chinese, Russian and Japanese) and is updated regularly. The intuitive use of Scan® does not require any special training.

Results harmonization
Using the Scan® allows more reliable analyses and harmonizes the results within a team. You can save as many settings as you wish and customize the settings according to the type of dishes and agar you use. The automatic archiving of data, photos, comments and results ensures total traceability.

Print your results
You can export a report to your PC, archive it in PDF, JPEG, BMP... You can also print it as 1 full page report for your customers or suppliers.

Reproducibility of results
Automatic counting is a guarantee of regularity and standardization of analyses, which is the key to ensure accurate and reliable results. Reproducibility of results is guaranteed whatever the day, conditions and user. A scientific study has proved 98% precision for Scan® colony counters. This study is available on request.

Internal traceability
Thanks to the LIMS connection and the barcode reader, photos of counted plates are saved and traceable.
The images are accessible and recountable at any time.

Secure your sessions
Sessions are secured with a security code (one per perator) and the impossibility to alter each saved counting. Scan® use allows the compliance with CFR 21 part 11: system securization, operational controls and documentation management.
