Microbiological testing using Amersham ImageQuant 800

Microbiological analysis using agar plates is a common laboratory method used in both academic research and industry. In this application note, Cytiva discusses strategies for plate preparation to monitor the various stages of a manufacturing process from intake of raw material to manufacturing and final dispensing. In the note, explore how the multi-mode Amersham™ ImageQuant™ 800 imaging system offers a wide range of options for imaging, from routine capture of color images to document and differentiate colonies, to calibrated grayscale optical density imaging for quantification, and advanced fluorescence multiplex imaging for research investigations.
