Simple, Affordable OD600 Measurements
The OD600 DiluPhotometer™ is a small, easy to use instrument that is dedicated to measuring samples near the 600 nm wavelength. It is suitable for measuring growth rates of several cell types including E. coli and yeast. Use of the OD600 DiluPhotometer™ with Implen’s DiluCell™ 10 facilitates the measurement of low volume samples (volume requirement of 300 µl) and allows for automatic 1/10 dilutions. With a bandwidth of 40 nm, the OD600 is also suitable for protein quantification assays like Bradford (595 nm). The small size and portable nature of the OD600 DiluPhotometer™ make it convenient for use in incubation cabinets and under anaerobic conditions.
