PetriCam
AN INNOVATIVE AND AFFORDABLE MICROBIAL MONITORING SOLUTION THAT MAKES ANALYSIS MORE ACCESSIBLE. This project introduces a cutting-edge, low-cost device designed to change microbial monitoring. Developed using desktop 3D printing, wireless IP cameras, and web-based remote monitoring, this modular system offers real-time analysis of bacterial, microalgal, yeast, and fungal colonies. The system excels in the early detection of microbial pathogens, including antimicrobial-resistant strains and food contaminants, and supports diverse research applications. The modularity of the device allows it to be customised and scaled according to sample size.
