The only thing you should be counting is citations.

Well... maybe not. Great science is about quality over quantity.

But when it comes to counting colonies, you shouldn't have to compromise on either. Reshape Colony Counter uses AI to deliver fast, consistent results, so you can spend more time on discoveries and less time on repetitive tasks.

Capture a photo or upload a Petri dish image, and let Reshape AI automatically detect and count colonies. Keep your samples organized by scanning a barcode and recording key experimental details like dilution factor, incubation time, growth medium, and custom notes.

What you'll get

• AI-powered colony detection and counting
• Capture or upload Petri dish images
• Barcode scanning for fast sample plate identification
• Record experimental details including dilution factor, incubation time, growth medium, and notes
• Colony count, plate coverage, and estimated colony area for every analysis
• A simple, intuitive workflow designed for research, teaching, and routine laboratory work

Built on Reshape AI

Reshape Colony Counter is powered by Reshape's computer vision platform, built on a continuously growing database of more than 120 million images to deliver fast and consistent colony analysis.

Your research stays yours. Images and experimental data analyzed with the app are never used to train Reshape's AI models. Your work remains your work.

Whether you're screening new strains, teaching a microbiology course, or processing routine samples, Reshape Colony Counter helps you move from manual counting to confident, AI-assisted analysis.

Please note: AI is a powerful assistant, but it isn't a replacement for scientific judgment. Always review results before use. Analyses of OmniTray plates—particularly plate coverage and estimated colony area—should be interpreted with additional care due to the different size of these plates.
