QUANTOM Tx Microbial Cell Counter Basic Package

No more waiting days to count CFUs. In less than 30 seconds, the QUANTOM Tx™ scans up to 10 fields of view to produce accurate single bacterial cell counts. The advanced software can account for the varying shapes, sizes, and arrangements of different bacteria

Product Description

Although smaller and simpler than their eukaryotic counterparts, bacteria are an incredibly diverse group of organisms that come in multiple shapes, sizes, and arrangements. Colony counting is a highly variable and unreliable, as it is only an estimate of the viable cells present. Even expensive flow cytometers and laser scanning cytometers register each particle, single or clustered, as a single event. 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.

• Efficient cell immobilization and counting process
• Highly sensitive optical design
• Large counting volume (10 fields, 0.1 uL)
• Fast scan stage and automated Z focusing
• Fast and accurate cell counting algorithm
• Bacteria-specific declustering algorithm

Uniform Distribution and Immobilization

The QUANTOM™ Cell Loading Buffer I immobilizes cells within the medium and the QUANTOM™ Centrifuge evenly distributes the cells along a single plane for accurate detection. 

Bacteria-specific Declustering Algorithm

The QUANTOM Tx™ has a novel detection and declustering algorithm that can accurately count individual bacterial cells in the tightest clusters or the longest chains. 

Results in Minutes, not Days

Minutes to results and NO culturing required.

Single Bacterium Detection

Single bacterium detection regardless of cell shape, size or arrangement with advanced bacterial cell counting software.
