The Wizard CompactDry Reader
A small piece of equipment that will make a big impact on the time spent counting colonies by hand.
Turn minutes into seconds by bringing automation to your colony counting process!
Colony counts in seconds- where it would usually take hours to complete all of the colony counts associated with food testing, The Wizard™ CompactDry™ Reader will take just seconds. This saves your technicians valuable time in their testing processes.
Consistency where it counts
Humans are prone to error while performing tedious and repetitive tasks. So why risk it? The Wizard™ CompactDry™ Reader eliminates human error from the process of counting colonies.
Simple Implementation
No complicated set of instructions, no long-winded explanation.
The Wizard™ CompactDry™ Reader is easy to set up, to understand, and to begin using. Flip the switch, select your configuration, insert your CompactDry™ plate(s), select read, and save your results! See how fast that was?
Designed exclusively for the CompactDry™ Plate line!
The Wizard™ CompactDry™ Reader's software was built to identify colony formation on each of the individual CompactDry™ plates. The camera is calibrated to recognize chromogenic changes in the media and colony formation on the surface of the plate. The CompactDry™ plate line presents a variety of organism-specific or total count tests, packaged neatly in a sophisticated and sturdy cassette.
Basic Cannabis Microbiology Workflow
1
Sample Prep
Introduce your sample to primary dilution. BPW and Butterfields are common diluents in the cannabis testing lab. Use a membrane filter bag to reduce particulates on your sample.
