Software

Run, label and export your measurements from your computer with Access.

Access is the software you use to run your BactoBox® from a computer. Your BactoBox® serves Access over the USB cable, and Access opens in your browser. It works without an internet connection.

In Access, you label each sample with its dilution and sampling time. Access then calculates the concentration of your undiluted sample, groups your measurements and plots your growth curves.

Find your way in Access

Access has three areas:

• The side bar on the left opens the pages of Access. At the bottom, it shows the status of your BactoBox®.

• The page in the middle shows a table, a plot or a form.

• The bottom bar holds the program buttons and the annotation fields for your sample.
