Why labs switch to Phoretix Colony Counter

Phoretix Colony Counter is built for labs that have outgrown manual counting and rulers. If any of these sound familiar, the trial is worth your time:

Hours lost counting colonies by hand. Automatic detection counts bacterial colonies, cells or particulates in under a minute per image, with manual click-and-count on hand whenever you want it.
Inconsistent results between operators. Counting and zone measurement by eye introduces variation that undermines your data. Phoretix Colony Counter removes the subjective steps so results stay consistent across people, labs and imaging devices.
Measuring zones of inhibition with calipers. Define your discs or wells and the software measures each clear zone automatically, giving reproducible diameters in seconds instead of minutes.
Cross-streak screens scored by eye. Turn a qualitative antimicrobial screen into objective, reportable numbers across your whole panel.
Locked to one manufacturer’s imaging hardware. Phoretix Colony Counter is fully device agnostic and works with every major imaging system (Bio-Rad, Cytiva, Azure Biosystems, Thermo Fisher, Syngene, Vilber and others).
Needing 21 CFR Part 11 or GMP compliance for regulated QC. Combined with AuditSafe, Phoretix Colony Counter is deployable in regulated pharma environments, from captured image to final report.

How it works

Submit the form. Tell us a little about what you count, your imaging setup, and what you are hoping to evaluate.
Receive your trial license within one business day. The license key is sent to the email address you provide, so please double-check it is correct.
Install and evaluate on your own data. Use Phoretix Colony Counter on real plates and images from your own lab.
Get support as you need it. Our team is on hand to answer questions throughout the trial.

Built for real lab workflows

One platform, three jobs. Colony counting, zone of inhibition measurement and cross-streak analysis in a single validated package, so you train operators once.
No limits on detection areas. Count as many colonies, wells or sample areas per image as your computer can handle, supporting multiwell plates and non-standard layouts.
Export anywhere. Results to CSV, straight to the clipboard, or a formal PDF report for your ELN or LIMS. Publication-ready images export to JPEG, PNG or BMP.
Trusted in regulated environments. We have supported the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies with production-ready, validated software for over a decade.
