Colony Count Competency Test

Accurate, Convenient, Economical

ConFirm coUntTM provides real-world images of environmental monitoring samples to test staff’s ability to recognize and count different colony morphologies.

These realistic samples provide a relevant and accurate way to assess competency.

Sample acceptance ranges are obtained from independent reads by reference analysts. ConFirm coUntTM tests whether your colony counts match those of trained analysts.
