Biochrom has introduced its CO 8000 Cell Density Meter that measures the density of cells grown in suspension by measuring OD at 600nm.
This instrument is suitable for cells such as yeast and bacterial cultures, is completely portable, hand-held, and has a rechargeable battery with a long life enabling it to be taken to where the cell cultures are growing.
The meter can be used in incubation cabinets, under anaerobic conditions or in a fume hood or safety cabinet.
It is easily cleaned and accepts a variety of cuvettes and tubes.
The built in memory stores up to 99 sample results for easy downloading to a PC later.
The LED source and fibre optics give stable results and require no maintenance or warm up.
