QUANTOM Tx™
Fluorescence based bacterial automated bacterial counter
The Logos Biosystems Quantom Tx allows users to directly count bacterial samples without the need for culturing
Direct Counting
Image based analysis provides direct counting without the need for overnight culturing. Results in minutes not days
Flexible
Sophisticated counting algorithms provide single cell detection regardless of morphology or clumping. Count bacterials strains that are not culturable in lab conditions
Accurate
Remove user to user variation. Multiple fields of view analysed. No need for estimation based on turbidity or colony forming units
Easy to Use
Easy to follow protocol and autofocus. Large capacitive touchscreen interface with intuitive software
Total or Viable Counts
Fluorescence stains provide either total count or viable count information
Flexible Data Handling
SSD for fast internal saving of data. Export count, image or report data for offline viewing or sharing via USB drive or WIFI

- Fast
- No need to culture
- Flexible
- Count a wide range of bacterial species
- Easy to Use
- No special training required
- Accurate
- Data you can trust
Staining
- QUANTOM Total staining dye permeates both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria
- QUANTOM Viable staining dye efficiently labels only viable cells
Loading and Immobilisation
- Stained cells are mixed with the included loading dye
- Samples are then loaded into the QUANTOM slides using a pipette
- Up to 8 slides at a time can then be spun in the QUANTOM Centrifuge to uniformly distribute cells across the slide
Counting
- The QUANTOM TX captures multiple fields of view from the slide
- Sophisticated counting and declustering algorithms enable single bacterium detection in a range of morphologies and clump formations
Data Handling
- Solid state drive for fast data saving
- Export data via USB flash drive, Wifi or optional thermal printer
