The Implen OD600®: Enhancing Microbial Growth Analysis
Introducing the new Implen OD600® device – a cutting-edge solution to streamline and enhance your laboratory measurements. Featuring two
built-in programs, OD600 and McFarland, along with a sample-list function for easy data management and export, this device offers
unparalleled accuracy and convenience.
The OD600 program enables precise monitoring of bacterial growth in liquid culture media by measuring the optical density at 600 nm,
essential for determining growth stages and optimal harvesting conditions. The McFarland program simplifies the estimation of cell
suspension density, aiding in tasks such as antimicrobial susceptibility testing and bacterial inoculum preparation.
The Implen OD600® is ideal for diverse laboratory environments worldwide, thanks to its user-friendly design, robust data
management capabilities, and seamless LIMS integration. Its multilingual support and adaptable sample compatibility further enhance its
versatility. This makes the Implen OD600® perfect for various industries and applications, including microbiology, biotechnology,
pharmaceuticals, water quality monitoring, breweries and wineries, the food and beverage industry, clinical and medical research,
environmental science, and industrial applications.
Key Benefits of the OD600-EU DiluPhotometer
• Accurate Growth Monitoring: Track bacterial growth phases—from lag to log and beyond—to ensure
cells are harvested at peak viability.
• Mobility: Unlimited mobility, suitable for field work, safety cabinets, and incubation- chambers*
even under anaerobic conditions*. (*Certain restrictions or limitations apply. Please contact our customer service)
• Efficient Data Management: The 4GB internal storage allows for storing over 500,000 measurements.
This ensures efficient data management and quick access to all previously measured sample data through the sample list feature.
