Colony Counter HSC-CC – Manual or Digital, 0–999 Colonies, 4–10× Magnifier
Price on Request
Colony counter for agar plates of 55–150 mm: illuminated 4×–10× magnifier, LED backlight with adjustable brightness, digital readout 0–999 colonies, ±1 colony. Manual pressure-pad (HSC-CC1) or semi-automatic digital (HSC-CC2). USB/PC and printer options. 1-year warranty.
The HSC colony counter helps microbiology labs count bacterial and fungal colonies on agar plates quickly and without eye strain. The plate sits on an LED-backlit counting stage with adjustable brightness, under an illuminated 4× – 10× magnifier. Each colony is counted with a press, and the total shows on a digital readout, from 0 to 999 colonies per plate, accurate to ±1 colony. It takes plates from 55 mm to 150 mm in diameter. It comes in two versions: the HSC-CC1 is manual with a pressure-sensitive pad, and the HSC-CC2 counts semi-automatically. It is used in pharmaceutical, food, microbiology and research laboratories.
Why labs choose it
- Fast, repeatable counts. Press to count; the digital readout keeps the total, up to 999 per plate.
- Easy on the eyes. Illuminated 4× – 10× magnifier over an LED backlight with adjustable brightness.
- Fits common plates from 55 mm to 150 mm diameter.
- Manual or digital. Pressure-pad counting (CC1) or semi-automatic digital counting (CC2).
- Compact and light, with a corrosion-resistant body.
