OD600 DiluPhotometer
The OD600 DiluPhotometer is a portable spectrometer for quantifications at 590
nm to 610 nm in less than 3 seconds. It has been especially configured for
bacterial growth rates and colorimetric protein assays. Combining OD600 with
Implen’s DiluCell 10 or DiluCell 20 facilitates measurements with low sample
volumes of 200 L and 100 L, respectively, and an automatic virtual sample
dilution of either factor 10 or 20, according to the company. Data can be
stored via a built-in memory or downloaded directly to a PC via a RS232
interface. The battery-operated instrument can be easily transported for
usage in incubation cabinets and under anaerobic conditions. The batteries
are recharged automatically by connecting to the mains and last for almost 1
month when fully charged. A 600-nm LED source in combination with a fiber
optic is used to obtain the optical density measurement. Spills can be
easily wiped from the even surface, and the cell compartment area can be
rinsed with formaldehyde or ethylene oxide to sterilize it.
