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.
