The Labshark colony counter (also referred to as a bacterial colony counter, microbial colony counter, or colony counter machine) is a high-precision instrument designed for accurate and efficient counting of bacterial and cell colonies. With a 4-digit LED display and a counting range of 0–9999, this colony counter microbiology tool delivers clear, real-time results for quantitative microbiological analysis.
Available in three models—LCC-115, LCC-115Y, and LCC-115C—this colony counting device features a ring fluorescent lamp with side illumination for clear colony contrast, a 3×/6× magnifier, and a correction function for adding or deleting colonies. Whether you need a cfu counter for food testing, a bacteria counter for water analysis, or a colony count instrument for biological fluids, Labshark provides reliable and user-friendly solutions.

The colony counter features a 4-digit real-time LED display that shows the colony count clearly and directly. This bacterial colony counter allows you to read results at a glance, eliminating guesswork and reducing transcription errors during colony counting.
The microbial colony counter is designed for responsive and accurate counting. Simply press the counting pen, and the colony count increases automatically. Corrections can be made for repeated counts or other operational errors, ensuring accurate colony count results every time.
This colony counter is compact and lightweight, weighing only 1 kg. It is easy to store and carry, making it ideal for laboratories with limited bench space or for field applications where portability is essential.
The colony counter machine supports multiple charging methods: Type-C interface, AAA dry batteries, or rechargeable lithium battery (LCC-115C). This flexibility ensures you can use the bacteria counter in any laboratory environment, even where power outlets are limited.
The colony counter features a grid-pattern counting plate that makes it easier to observe colony positions, a leak-proof sealing ring that prevents sample leakage and avoids cross-contamination, and a flexible metal arm / metal gooseneck tube that is easy to adjust and highly resistant to bending and stretching.
The LCC-115Y and LCC-115C models feature a voice broadcast function that announces the colony count, allowing you to focus on your sample without looking away. This colony counter microbiology feature improves efficiency and reduces eye strain during long counting sessions.
The colony counting instrument is equipped with a ring fluorescent lamp with side illumination, providing clear colony contrast against the background. This makes it easier to distinguish colonies from debris and ensures accurate colony count results.
Your Need | Recommended Model |
|---|---|
Basic colony counting with Type-C or AAA batteries | LCC-115 – 4-digit LED, 3×/6× magnification, no voice broadcast. |
Colony counting with voice broadcast | LCC-115Y – Adds voice broadcast, Type-C or AAA batteries. |
Colony counting with rechargeable lithium battery & voice broadcast | LCC-115C – Rechargeable lithium battery, voice broadcast, Type-C. |
Place the colony counter on a flat, stable surface for use.
Ensure the counting chamber is clean and free from debris.
Connect the power supply (Type-C, AAA batteries, or lithium battery) as needed.
Place the Petri dish (max 115 mm) on the counting chamber.
Press the counting pen to increase the colony count automatically.
Use the correction function to add or delete colonies if a miscount occurs.
Read the colony count on the 4-digit LED display.
For models with voice broadcast, listen for the announced count.
After use, cover the colony counter with a dust cover.
Do not disassemble the instrument or the probe pen. If a malfunction occurs, have it inspected and repaired by qualified technical personnel.
Take care to prevent bacterial cultures from contaminating the counting chamber.
Precautions:
The instrument should be placed on a flat, stable surface for use.
When counting colonies, do not tilt the probe pen too much. Gently press it down until you feel a slight bounce, and the count will be recorded.
The instrument should be protected from moisture, strong vibration, direct sunlight, and acid/alkali corrosion.
After use, cover it with a dust cover.
Take care to prevent bacterial cultures from contaminating the counting chamber.
Do not disassemble the instrument or the probe pen.
If a malfunction occurs, have it inspected and repaired by qualified technical personnel.
