BactoBox®
Build real growth curves from direct cell counts
BactoBox® is a benchtop impedance flow cytometer. It counts bacterial cells directly and gives you true growth kinetics in two minutes.
How it works
Impedance flow cytometry
BactoBox® electrically counts individual bacterial cells as they pass through a microfluidic channel. Advanced technology, made easy-to-use.
Sample
Grab a sample of your culture.
Prepare
Dilute your sample to be within the working range of BactoBox®.
Measure
Insert diluted sample in BactoBox® and get a result in two minutes.
What you see
Your growth kinetics, visualized
Every measurement feeds directly into a live growth curve. You see cell concentration over time — not absorbance units, not turbidity estimates. Actual cells/mL.
Growth phases
Identify lag, exponential, and stationary phases with certainty
Process comparison
Overlay runs to compare strains, media, or conditions side by side
