With IntuGrow the well-known colony forming unit (CFU) result is provided in a fraction of the time compared to traditional methods.
The growth detection system catches growth long before it becomes visible to the naked eye.
The adaptable design enables analysis on a broad range of sample types, including APIs, complex products, water, swabs and more.
As IntuGrow mimics the traditional cultivation method the same results are provided in hours rather than days. This also enables detection of a broad range of microorganisms relevant to production and processing.
The scanning platform enables for the high resolution required for early detection of colony formation.
The high resolution allows for quantification of colonies when they are only 10 µm in diameter, compared to 300+ µm with the naked eye.
With great precision colonies are identified and quantified with intuitive continuous result presentation.
Correlation is essential for validation of alternative methods. With IntuGrow a recovery of +70% as readily achieved in a broad range of concentrations.
Detect even the lowest levels of microbes by utilizing filtration.
Volume requirements are easily met with 1-200 ml of sample analyzed and detection down to 1 CFU/vol.
Filter Units for Easy Handling
The sterilizable filtration units, is specifically designed to reduce handling of the filter, with no tweezers or human contact.
This minimizes the exposure to the surroundings and prevents contamination of the analysis, to ensure correct and reliable CFU quantification in a fraction of the time compared to standard methods.
Ideal for complex sample types.
Detect down to 1 CFU/vol with the IntuGrow Mini-Dish using the well-known spread plate method. Test microbial cultures, chemical compounds, raw materials, dairy and more, in small volumes (up to 50 µl).
Mini-Dish, Just a small petri dish
With the simple design the IntuGrow Mini-dish allows for fast handling of complex samples types. The Mini-dish is available in a 6-well and 12-well format dependent on the desired detection limit and throughput.
