Colony Counter – Illuminated Grid Base for Microbial Analysis (each)

Colony Counter – Illuminated Grid Base for Microbial Analysis

The CCOUNTER Colony Counter is a precision tool for estimating microbial populations by counting visible colonies on Petri dishes. When placed on the illuminated base, the dish reveals a 12×12 grid of 1 cm squares, with 24 squares subdivided into 1/3 cm increments for enhanced accuracy. This setup allows users to calculate average colony density across the grid.

Designed for classroom and lab use, the unit features a standard bulb base with an inline power switch. To protect heat-sensitive samples, LED bulbs are recommended (bulb not included). An activity guide is included to support instructional use.
