Automated microbial colony counting with traceable results

The Acculize Colony Vision is an imaging-based microbial colony counter for standard Petri plates. Plates are imaged under controlled ring illumination and counted manually, with AI assistance, or fully automatically depending on the variant.

Manual colony counting is slow, subjective and varies between analysts, and paper records are a common data-integrity gap in microbiology labs. An imaging system gives every count a stored plate image that can be reviewed later.

Core (fully manual): the analyst counts colonies on a high-resolution image. Copilot (semi-automatic): AI marks likely colonies and the analyst reviews and approves the count. Auto (fully automatic): AI performs the complete count without manual marking.

The analyst. The AI only suggests colony marks; the analyst can add or remove marks and approves the final count. This keeps human accountability in place, in line with most pharmaceutical QC SOPs.

Logged analyst overrides and electronic records designed for use in 21 CFR Part 11-regulated environments are planned. Regulatory compliance depends on the user's validated system and procedures; Acculize lab devices provide the technical controls and documentation to support it.
