Automatic Colony and Cell Counting Software

Automated bacterial colony, cell or particulate counting software

Phoretix Colony Counter is the latest evolution of our colony and cell counting image analysis software and has been developed in line with industry needs and feedback to deliver the highest-quality data in the shortest amount of time with the lowest inter-operator variation possible.

It offers users:

• Speed. Automate your colony, cell or particulate counting and get results in less than a minute per image.
• Objectivity. Unmatched automation reduces the need for manual intervention and minimises inter-operator variability.
• Reproducibility. Consistent analysis results between different users, labs and different imaging devices.
• Quantitation. Enables reliable, accurate quantitation of colonies, cells or particulates
• 21 CFR or GMP-compliance. When combined with our AuditSafe software, allows users to meet and even exceed FDA 21 CFR part 11/EudraLex Annex 11/GAMP5 standards for compliance within regulated or QC environments, from captured image all the way through to final analysis and report production.

It is ideal for the quantitative analysis of:

• • Bacterial colonies
  • Cell number
  • Particulate number

Our software is device agnostic, so can help to reduce costs as it can be used with all your existing laboratory equipment regardless of brand and allow you to simplify your workflow by only having to train operators in one piece of software. This is especially important in labs requiring 21 CFR/GxP compliance as it drastically reduces inter-operator variation in analysis.

It’s also compatible with all industry-standard image formats (.tif, .tiff, .gel, .img, .jpg, .jpeg, .bmp and .png) and is compatible with the latest versions of both Windows and macOS operating systems (11 and Monterey).

Intuitive Automatic Colony Detection and Counting

As with all our software, Phoretix Colony Counter has been designed with an intuitive and easy-to-use interface to minimize the time required to train new operators and inter-operator variability. Our simplified workflow guides the user through their analysis whilst leaving a large, central viewing area of the image and data being analyzed.

21 CFR Part 11 and GMP/GxP compliant 

Phoretix Colony Counter, along with all TotalLab software, can be integrated into our 21 CFR Part 11/GMP-compliant AuditSafe software to generate a full audit trail with electronic signatures during analysis for use in regulated industry environments where data traceability, accountability, and integrity are critical.

AuditSafe restricts software and data access through secure user sign-ins, granular permissions, audit logs, electronic signatures and image authenticity checks. Click here to find out more.
