Replacing CFU counts with single bacterial cell detection.

The QUANTOM Tx^™ Microbial Cell Counter is an image-based, automated cell counter that can detect individual bacterial cells in mere minutes. Its novel bacteria-optimized cell detection software can count individual bacterial cells in even the tightest clusters.

Innovations for Increased Counting Accuracy:

Uniform distribution and immobilisation The QUANTOM^™ Centrifuge evenly distributes the cells along a single plane for accurate detection and QUANTOM™ Cell Loading Buffer I immobilises cells within the medium.

Bacteria specific declustering

The QUANTOM Tx^™ has a novel detection and declustering algorithm that can accurately count individual bacterial cells in tight clusters or long chains.

Benefits:

• Results in minutes, not days
  • No culturing required
• Accurate results
  • No user to user variability
  • No need to estimate based on CFU's or turbidity
• Single bacterium detection
  • Regardless of cell size, shape or arrangement
  • Advanced bacterial cell counting software
• Total and viable cell counts
  • Fluorescence stains for accurate cell detection
  • Multiple images captured and analysed
