Microplate readers from BMG LABTECH for OD₆₀₀ detection

Quantify microbial growth in microplates
Higher throughput and less handling than cuvette-based solutions
Compatible with microplate formats up to 1536-wells
Precise temperature control up to 45°C and multiple shaking options
Automatic kinetic detection over hours to days
Not only microbial growth: detect ELISAs, enzyme kinetics, and all chromophores with a single instrument without the need to purchase extra filters
Ultrafast UV/vis spectral acquisition: from 220 – 1000 nm in < 1 second/well
Modular and upgradeable to a multi-mode plate reader
Made-in-Germany dependability

Measure microbial growth using the „OD600“

OD600 is part of a lot of microbiology studies. Reason enough for us to use this article to explain why the method is used so intensively and what should be considered for the measurement.

Growth of Campylobacter using a microplate reader equipped with ACU

Comparison of Campylobacter jejuni growth studies performed using the traditional method of tubes shaking in a VAIN and a plate reader equipped with the Atmospheric Control Unit.
