Built-in OD600 & McFarland Applications to Measure Bacterial Growth
The Implen OD600® device comes equipped with two built-in programs: OD600 and McFarland, complemented by a built-in Sample list function for effortless data management and export. The OD600 program enables the monitoring of bacterial growth in liquid culture media by measuring the optical density at 600 nm (OD600), crucial for determining the stage of growth and ensuring optimal harvesting conditions. With the McFarland program, users can estimate cell suspension density by comparing it to a series of standard turbidity solutions, simplifying tasks such as antimicrobial susceptibility testing and bacterial inoculum preparation. These built-in functions streamline the measurement process, providing accurate and reliable results for a variety of laboratory applications.
