Scan 5000 Ai
Automatic AI colony counter and inhibition zone reader
Ref. 434 500
Scan 5000 Ai automates and standardizes colony counting for microbiological analyses. The power of Artificial Intelligence offers unparalleled performance and continuous development opportunities at the cutting edge of technological developments. It is suitable for all sizes of Petri dishes up to 150 mm and all culture media.
- Minimum size of detected colony: 0.03 mm
- Counting on Ø 55 to 150 mm round Petri dishes and 120 mm square Petri dishes
- Counting on pour, surface, Spiral, circle mode plated dishes
- Counting on chromogenic agar, Petrifilm™, MC-media Pads™, Compact Dry™, Easy Plate™, filtration membranes
- Inhibition zone reader
- AI-powered colony counting
A leap forward in counting performances
Automatic counting of colonies in 1 second
Constant accuracy up to 98%
400 plates read per hour
Traceability of results
Unrivaled precision with artificial intelligence
The power of artificial intelligence of the Scan Ai automatic counter boosts the analysis of Petri dishes. Scan Ai standardizes colony counting and improves the accuracy of your analysis results. The scientific expertise of the technical teams remains within the lab.
- •25% more accurate than a conventional counter
- •Detection and counting with models trained with AI
- •Discrimination of artifacts (bubbles, markings, etc.)
- •Reading on 100% of the plate
- •Classification and counting of bacteria, yeasts and molds
What are the proven counting performances of Scan Ai compared to a standard colony counter?
25% more accurate than a standard colony counter
Total count accuracy
TBX positive colonies accuracy
MRS accuracy
VRBL accuracy
Excellent performances of pre-trained models
The AI of the Scan Ai automatic counter has been trained on more than 1 million annotated images from different sectors of activity.
We have thus integrated counting models for common culture media:
- •Total count (PCA/TSA)
- •Coliforms
- •Enterobacteriaceae (VRBL/VRBG)
- •Escherichia Coli (TBX)
- •Lactobacilli (MRS)
- •Mossel
- •SDA
- •Symphony
- •Yeasts/molds
- •GVPC
- •Compass Bacillus Cereus
- •Rhapsody
- •PDA
- •Blood Agar
- •Milliflex Oasis™
(TSA, SDA, R2A) - •Staphylococci
(Baird-Parker, Baird-Parker RPF)
Performance and safety with locked AI
Continuous improvement of AI performance
- •Learning from images annotated with AI
- •Colony counting at the cutting edge
- •Software updates at your convenience
Enhanced security level
with locked AI
- •Works offline with locally stored computer data

Rapid reading of antibiograms
For precise clinical results and decision-making for the diagnosis and treatment of patients, the automated reading of antibiograms remains the most relevant solution.
- •Up to 16 antibiotics in 2-4 seconds
- •Measurement accuracy: ± 0.1 mm
- •Integrated databases: CA-SFM, Eucast, CLSI
Data integrity
Scan Ai receives and sends information from LIMS and/or dataLink and digitizes the counting. All the data from the analysis are traceable and auditable. The results are validated by a double electronic signature. Thanks to account management, you have multi-level access for the validation of results. This solution thus ensures the reliability and security of data in accordance with FDA guidelines, 21 CFR Part 11 and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) Annex 11.
Traceability and printing of results
Scan 5000 Ai
connects to the LIMS in bi-directionality and can be connected to the diluter and plater via dataLink, a traceability system. It offers multiple export possibilities to save time on manual entry and thus increase the security and quality of your analyses.Export your results to your PC or archive them in CSV, Excel™, OpenOffice™, PDF, SCA, BIO format. You can also export images from the camera in JPEG, PNG and BMP format.
All your data on the Petri dish with dataLink
With dataLink, the sample is monitored from the plating to the automatic colony counting.
Set the parameters for the label to be adhered to the side of the plate. The colony counting is then optimized.
White LED Dome lighting,
reflection and shadow free
Petri dishes are difficult to light, because they are transparent and reflective. Heterogeneous lighting often creates artifacts on the meniscus of the agar and on the edge of the plate. These artifacts are counted as colonies or prevent perfect counting.
We have designed a white diffusing dome that provides 360° lighting for the plate, without any reflection or shadow. The light is diffused from all points, and provides lighting without artifacts for counting even on the edge of the plate.
Warranty
Scan automatic colony counters have 3-YEAR warranty (parts and labor) just by sending the warranty card back.
