What is ColonyCam® VOGUE?
ColonyCam VOGUE is a bench-top microbial plate and analysis device optimised for high throughput phenotyping.
Designed to capture high-resolution, super uniform colour photos of your plates, ColonyCam functions as a standalone imager, or can be integrated with a robotic arm as part of a larger workcell.

Interested in high throughput phenotyping?
Don’t waste time analysing low-quality images.
Beginning with uncompromising quality lets you maximise the detection of even the smallest colonies and features.
ColonyCam VOGUE’s high-resolution optics and advanced lighting technology make it easier to set thresholds objectively and consistently.
Uniform illumination ensures precise phenotyping data for every colony on the plate and enhances the reproducibility of experiments.
Starting with a top-tier image therefore helps to standardise source data by eliminating the need for complex pre-analysis workarounds.
Select the hits that interest you.
Using the PhenoSuite software filter colonies by: size, colour, circularity and brightness. Then hit ‘batch analyse’ to apply the same parameters to all your plates.
It takes freakin’

A robot-friendly high throughput phenotyping solution
Designed to seamlessly integrate with robotic arms,
ColonyCam VOGUE includes a robust and well-documented
API perfect for high-throughput phenotyping workflows.
Time-lapse imaging
Time-lapse experiments let you go beyond static snapshots of your biology to capture the subtle, dynamic processes and phenotypic changes of microbial life. But they can generate large data sets and require consistent sample handling to generate meaningful results.
Choosing an imaging setup that prioritises uniform illumination and comes with a well-documented API for robot arm integration can help you eliminate sources of human error. Ultimately that means vastly less image processing, improving efficiency and freeing you to tackle much larger experiments.
Colony counting
Your pixels are your data. To get the best results and make your life a whole lot easier when counting colonies, ensure your plate is evenly lit and placed on a contrasting background before snapping any photographs. A high-resolution setup means no colony goes undetected, bringing you efficiency and accuracy even your best colony counting diehard would struggle to beat.
