Petri dish & agar plate count
Only for iPhone
$0.99
iPhone
ColonyCam turns your iPhone into a fast, repeatable colony counter for petri-dish plates. Photograph a plate, get a count in seconds, and fine-tune until it matches what you see.
Built on an ImageJ-grade image-processing pipeline (auto-thresholding, distance-map watershed, particle analysis), ColonyCam aims for counts you can trust — and gives you the controls to get there.
One simple purchase. Every feature included. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no account.
COUNT
• Import from your photo library or take a photo in-app
• Automatic colony detection with a labeled overlay on every colony
• Tap to add a missed colony or remove a false one — your corrections are always respected
TUNE BY SPECIES
• Built-in templates (bacteria, yeast, mold, and more) preset sensible parameters
• Sensitivity slider, min/max colony size, circularity, and watershed splitting — all adjustable
• Live recount as you adjust
• Save your own custom species templates
CALCULATE & KEEP
• Compute CFU/mL from dilution factor and plated volume
• Save count records with photo, notes, and CFU
• Browse and manage your full count history
• Save before/after annotated images to your Photos library
• Export your history to CSV
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• All image processing runs on your device. Your photos and data never leave your iPhone.
English and 简体中文 included.
Note: ColonyCam is a laboratory and educational aid, not a medical or diagnostic device. Counts are estimates and should be reviewed by a qualified person for any decision that matters.
