Interview with Ms Judit Szendrei, Microbiologist at AGROSPRINT:
Why did you need an automatic counter?

Our number of samples increases every week, which requires faster and more accurate evaluation.

How has the Scan 300 changed the way you work?

With the Scan 300, I can save 2-3 hours a day with fast and accurate evaluation. In addition to obtaining more accurate data, I can have traceability of my results with automatic image saving. In the course of my work, I can handle this equipment with ease and confidence. This device speeds up my work efficiency. The features we like the most are the different setting parameters that allow us to define the micro-organism and the culture medium.

Why did you choose Interscience?

We have a long-standing relationship with one of the Hungarian distributors of Interscience products. They work to fair prices. Interscience has a good reputation in the market and they can provide a complete solution for the laboratory with reliable and easy-to-use equipment. The instruction manual is very comprehensive and after-sales service is always helpful and available.
