HGMF INTERPRETER for computerized counting of HGMFs

Inexpensively convert your lab computer into a system to quickly and accurately count HGMFs, record sample details and archive images of samples for future reference. There are no boards to install - the Interpreter's camera simply plugs into your PC's USB port so the system will transport easily to a new computer when your lab upgrades.
The HGMF Interpreter simply makes counting HGMFs pleasanter and you remain completely in charge of your results. For example:
- point at a typical colony - the Interpreter immediately flags HGMF gridcells containing similar colonies;
- increase or decrease the tint range of colonies included in the count if you wish;
- add or subtract individual or groups of colonies if you do not agree with the Interpreter's count.
The Interpreter calculates the HGMF's Most Probable Number of Growth Units. Click "Dilution Factor" and "Inoculum Volume" to see "Count/g". You can count HGMFs without recording anything, or file sample details - much of which (e.g., "Type of Test", "User" and "Sample Origin") requires only a click.

TRACEABILITY and GOOD LABORATORY PRACTICE:   Real HGMFs deteriorate quickly, but the HGMF Interpreter lets you save images of your HGMFs for later reference. The .jpg files occupy minimal hard drive space and will be your assurance in case of queries, or you can transmit them easily to other labs. You can also import .jpg, or .bmp images from external sources.

Vers 1.1 - count and store HGMF image, and record all its "office work" details.
Vers 2.0 - profile colony growth (antibiotics, etc) on up to 6 HGMF copies (see HGMF Replicator). Shipped with both softwares.
