Colony Differentiator Technology
Researchers at Purdue University have developed a method that evaluates the scatter patterns collected using BARDOT technology and separates different colonies based on a variety of features determined using this analytical technology. This technology allows for the determination of possible groups of colonies on a particular plate without having to go through an identification process. This gives the user an idea of how many different phenotypes may be present on a particular plate. Each subgroup is identified on a map of the plate and separated by color. It is also possible to use this differential technique to create a classification for an "unknown" set of organisms to be placed within a database system for future recognition.
