OD-Monitor OD-Monitor A&S
Code No.:
Measuring OD untouched flasks while cultivating as usual!!

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)
Features
Saving of the turbidity measurement in culture with reasonable price
It automatically and untouched measure turbidity of rotating culture, such as coliform bacillus, in 100/200/300/500ml glass Erlenmeyer flask (volume is 1/5 amount ±10%, no Sakaguchi and no baffle).Used with the shaker (rotating type)
It is used with incubator shaker BR series or double shaker NR series.(The shaker of the other companies cannot be used) .
Install the measurement unit to rack only.

Eight channels in maximum, The measurement value is converted to OD600 of the spectrophotometer.

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.
