The Interscience Scan 3000 Ai is a high-precision automatic colony counter and inhibition zone reader designed to standardize and accelerate microbiological analyses. Powered by advanced artificial intelligence (AI), the system delivers accurate, reproducible results while significantly reducing manual intervention and operator variability.
Optimized for standard Petri dish formats (55–90 mm), the Scan 3000 Ai supports a wide range of microbiological media and plating techniques. Its intelligent image analysis enables reliable detection, counting, and classification of colonies, as well as precise measurement of inhibition zones for antimicrobial testing workflows.
Key Features
- Advanced AI-powered colony counting for high accuracy and consistency
- Automatic inhibition zone reading with precision up to ±0.2 mm
- Detects colonies as small as 0.03 mm
- High-speed processing: up to 1000 colonies per second
- Automatic separation of clustered colonies
- Classification of bacteria, yeasts, and molds
- Compatible with 55–90 mm round Petri dishes
- Supports multiple plating methods: pour, surface, Spiral, and circle plating
- Broad compatibility with chromogenic agar, Petrifilm™, CompactDry™, MC-Media Pad™, Easy Plate™, filtration membranes, and contact slides
- Designed for regulated environments with full traceability and compliance
