Non-contact turbidimeter for Shaking culture
OD-Monitor OD-Monitor B＆L
Non-contact turbidimeter for Shaking culture. It is for large Erlenmeyer flasks, measurable for high concentration. Automatic supply of IPTG at a set value is possible with additional pump unit.
Applications
●Cell density observation of bacterial in culturing
●Cell density observation of pathogenic bacteria
●Cell observation of bacillus in culturing under anaerobic conditions which gas concentration is important
●Cell density observation of bacteria with slow multiplication rate
●Cell density observation of floating mammals cell (scheduled)
●Variation of inoculum culture
●Effective protein’s mass production byE.Coli etc
Features
Saving culture for turbidity measurement
It automatically and untouched measures turbidity of rotating culture, such as coliform bacillus, in 100/200/300/500ml glass Erlenmeyer flask (volume is 1/5 amount ±10%).
Use with our Bio Shaker (middle size or larger recommended)
It is used with incubator shaker BR series. You just only attach the sensor unit to the shaking rack.
Four channels in maximum, The measurement value is converted to OD600 of the spectrophotometer.
It measure 4ch in maximum at the same time.
The measurement value is converted into 600 nm of the spectrophotometer (our BPM-10Bio).
It is possible to correct gap from the spectrophotometer.
It alarms you when reached set OD by buzzer.
The control unit displays the present value and target value.
When exceeding target value, it is possible to alarm by buzzer.
Data is saved to USB memory.
Data is saved by text format to the flash memory of USB2.0 (some is not used).
The edit with spreadsheet is possible.
