Some researchers spend weeks designing the perfect experiment and executing it with military precision, but before celebrating the fabulous results must confront the mundane chore of counting colonies. "Did I stay in school all these years to do this?" many wonder. In light of an ever-increasing pool of available technology, there must be a more efficient way to do this, right? Right. SYNBIOSIS' ProtoCOL automated colony counter puts an end to the manual count-and-click method of tallying colonies.

Using upper-incident light or bottom-transmitted light, ProtoCOL can count colonies or plaques on poured or spiral plates in under a second, accurately recording count and size data as it does so.
