ColonyIQ

ColonyIQ turns any phone into a microbiology lab assistant: photograph a petri dish, get colonies segmented, counted, and checked for contaminants in seconds, plus a draft lab report with CFU math. Manual counting takes 1–3 min/plate across 20–40 plates with ±10–20% inter-observer error; automated counters cost $10k–30k. ColonyIQ needs only a phone.
