Features & Capabilities

Is the tedium of squinting over agar plates counting bacterial colonies getting to you? Take the plates out of the lab! No, not literally. Snap a picture with your phone and you can make counting an out-of-lab experience. The Colony Counter app gives you a count estimate you can then manually refine. Save single plates or sets for later comparison. Happy Counting!

The fine print: Our app was tested with JM109 High Efficiency Competent Cells grown up in 50ml LB Medium; other plate and colony combos weren’t tested. In other words, white on yellow; that’s it.

User Reviews

This worked on my 7 year old super old iPhoneX but doesn’t work on my new one because the only camera this app can control has a minimum focus distance that is too far away to capture a 10cm dish, and the app is not able to use the macro photo lens for whatever reason.

Will add random colonies and ignore very obvious colonies

I liked the ability to manually add missed colonies, but it can’t handle writing on the plates and the counts seemed to be off much more than CFU.Ai.
