Colony Counter PRO: Professional Laboratory Tool for Microbial Enumeration Colony Counter PRO is a scientific application designed for accurate bacterial and fungal colony enumeration from petri dish images. Developed for microbiologists, lab technicians, and researchers who require precise colony counts and organized data management. Access & Availability: Colony Counter PRO is available as a paid application, with free licenses or discounts provided to researchers and institutions in some low- and middle-income countries where microbiological diagnostics are essential for public health surveillance and outbreak response. Core Functionality: Advanced Counting System Classify and count up to 20 different colony morphologies per plate Precision tap-to-mark interface with zoom and pan controls Color-coded dots with customizable sizes for clear visualization Real-time colony count tracking per type Session Management Multi-plate sessions for complete experiments (dose-response, time-course studies) Single-plate mode for quick isolated counts Sequential plate processing with automatic data organization Custom naming for sessions and individual plates Scientific Calculations Integrated CFU/mL calculator with dilution factor support Automatic calculation across all user-defined colony types Export-ready data formatted for statistical analysis Data Export & Documentation Detailed CSV export with colony type breakdown Summary CSV with totals and CFU/mL per plate Annotated images with colony markers and plate labels Timestamped records for audit trails Laboratory-Grade Features Custom colony type naming (scientific nomenclature supported) Secure input sanitization for file compatibility High-density plate support with precision zoom Undo functionality and plate-level reset options Use Cases: Research microbiology (bacterial enumeration studies) Quality control (food safety, pharmaceutical testing) Clinical laboratories (specimen analysis) Educational settings (microbiology courses) Environmental sampling analysis Built with input from practicing microbiologists to ensure the app meets real laboratory workflow requirements.
