چکیده
Bacterial colony counting is a significant technical hurdle for vaccine studies as well as various microbiological studies. We now show that an automated colony counter can process images obtained with a digital camera or document scanner and that any laboratory can efficiently have bacterial colonies enumerated by sending the images to a laboratory with a colony counter via internet.

متن کاملRapid fluorometric quantification of bacterial cells using Redsafe nucleic acid stain.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Numerous procedures in biology and medicine require the counting of cells. Direct enumeration of Colony Forming Units (CFUs) is time-consuming and dreary accurate cell counting on plates with high numbers of CFUs is error prone. In this study we report a new indirect cell counting method that was developed based on the use of Redsafe fluorometric assay. The usefulness ...
