Creating a new batch
In order to use the Classification tab, you will need a sample image to work with:
1. Insert a typical plate from the batch into aCOLyte3 – see Loading plates into the
instrument
, page 8.
2. Capture the image – see Capturing an image
, page 9.
The Classification tab in the Batch Designer for counting colonies allows you to:
l
set the frame – see Frame , below
l
configure a simple total plate count – see Total Plate Count , page 30
l
set the properties of the markers used to identify detected colonies on the image – see
The Classification panel
, page 33
Note By default, if you base a new batch on an existing batch, it will use the same total plate count
settings as the existing batch (though you can change them if required). If you are creating a
completely new batch, you will not be able to accept it for taking measurements until you
have defined a total plate count.
Frame
The following sections tell you about:

Choosing the type of frame to use

Choosing the type of frame to use
The ‘frame’ defines the area within which colonies will be counted. The choice of frames
depends on the type of batch:
l
Pour Plate: the frame can be circular, rectangular or a single sector of a circle
occupying 1/10, 1/8, 1/4 or 1/2 of the total area.
l
Spiral Plate:
l
Whole Frame – Whole Frame: the frame is circular
l
Whole Frame – Annulus Frame: the frame consists of two concentric circles
l
Two Sector: a series of concentric circles, with two opposite highlighted sectors. For
