- Measures growth rates of diverse cell types using OD600 and McFarland methods.
- The photometric range: OD600: 0 – 4 A and McFarland: 0 – 16 MFU.
- Reliable and accurate measurements for various cell types, including E. coli and yeast, with an accuracy of OD600: @ 1A: < ±0.01 A and McFarland: @ 0 – 8 MFU: ≤ ±0.1 MFU.
- OD600: @ 1A: < ±0.01 A and McFarland: @ 0 – 8 MFU: ≤ ±0.1 MFU
- The device is easy to operate with a 3.5″ crevice-free, glove-compatible touchscreen with resolution of 480 x 320 pixels
- The display features a smooth glass surface ideal for use in laminar flow or biosafety hoods. Additionally, the device can be used in incubation chambers and under anaerobic conditions.*
- The device is very easy to clean with water, ethanol, or other cleaning agents.
- The glass plate is completely wipeable, and the cuvette shaft can be wiped, ensuring easy maintenance and hygiene.
- The 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 standard turbidity solutions, simplifying antimicrobial susceptibility testing and bacterial inoculum preparation.
- The Implen OD600® features an intuitive, user-friendly interface based on the app system used in the NanoPhotometer® line.
