ColonyDoc-It Imaging Station

Introduction

This manual covers the installation and user instructions for the ColonyDoc-It Imaging Station.
The innovative, compact design enables users to process automated, fast and accurate colony counting. The high

resolution digital color camera allows users to capture white light and fluorescent marked colonies and a wide array

of samples. The sophisticated yet intuitive system offers researchers easy detection and analysis of media.
The software loads on the use

r‟

s computer for camera control, image capture and colony counting. The software

provides automatic and manual counting capabilities plus user defined templates for speeding up research

experiments. Users can define specific counting parameters including color differentiation and filter identification by

group or size. Once the colonies are counted, the results display on the screen. Images and data can be saved in

multiple formats and the data can be exported to Excel. The software supports 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.
