Get early results:

With ScanStation technology, monitor bacterial growth in your analyses in real time. Colonies are detected and counted as soon as they appear, significantly reducing the time needed to obtain results - up to three times faster than the traditional method.

Manage the quality of your production with ScanStation, releasing batches more quickly and without any bacteriological risk for the consumer. Manufacturing risks associated with bacterial contamination are significantly reduced, and production quality is under control. This risk management makes it a cost-effective solution for improving the quality and safety of your products.

Improve the accuracy of your analyses:

ScanStation software is based on a combination of patented algorithms and artificial intelligence for colony counting. The image fusion algorithm, specifically designed to enhance contrast, enables accurate detection of microorganisms, including molds, from the very start of incubation.

With typical counting accuracy of up to 98%, ScanStation avoids false positives and eliminates inaccuracy caused by spread or confluent colonies.

ScanStation V9’s AI software enables mold detection and differentiation from bacteria at an early stage of incubation.

Automation in the laboratory: a major challenge:

By automating tedious, repetitive tasks, you free up time for your teams and improve the accuracy, and therefore the interpretation, of your analyses. Load the Petri dishes, and the cycle starts up instantly. ScanStation works 24/7.

Keep your current analytical protocols and speed them up:

Combine traditional methods with rapid methods and anticipated results, while keeping operating costs to a minimum.

Adopt real-time monitoring to help rapid detection of potential environmental and product contaminants in accordance with GMP Annex 1.

Our automation system is designed to integrate with your existing process. Keep your existing Petri dishes, associated equipment and consumables validated. Analyze all types of culture media on 55-90 mm Petri dishes (surface, bulk, spiral), filtration membranes, contact plates.

Batch or continuous loading:

Petri dishes can be loaded at the start of or during incubation.

ScanStation processes batches simultaneously with different light settings or incubation times.

Security and compliance of your dematerialized data:

ScanStation enables you to dematerialize your data while guaranteeing its integrity and protection. Compliant with 21 CFR Part 11 and GMP Annex 11 standards, the system ensures complete traceability thanks to account management, electronic signatures and audit trails.

ScanStation saves images and videos of bacterial growth, from the beginning to the end of incubation. Data can be retrieved beyond the incubation date.

Stay connected in the lab:

Stay connected to your lab wherever you are with the mobile app and receive instant notifications of non-compliant results.

Load Petri dishes and navigate the myScanStation app to visualize bacterial growth.

View and validate analysis results over a secure connection, with encrypted backups. Call up the LIMS via a bidirectional connection, to retrieve information concerning analyses, and deposit results at the end of the cycle.

Analyze your results:

Get a complete overview of results with the statistics module.

View results by batch, sampling area or sample type. Time lapse videos, correlation curves and Time to result are available for in-depth analyses.

All your data on the Petri dishes with dataLink pro:

Controlled by dataLink pro, semi-automated labeling on the edge of the plate facilitates identification of Petri dishes for the microbiological analysis chain, and is particularly well suited to large-scale production runs.

ScanStation’s integrated reader identifies the code on the Petri dishes’ label, enabling personalized tracking of each plate in the carousel. Information is transmitted to the LIMS via a bidirectional connection.

Applications:

ScanStation automatic incubator and colony counter can be used in various fields of application. Its bacterial kinetics improve counting accuracy by eliminating false positives linked to particles present in a cosmetic product. It is particularly used for quality control of raw materials and/or cosmetic production. Its bacterial kinetics allow for real-time results and to bring an anticipated corrective action during a contamination detection allowing a better stock management.
