Pacific Laboratory Products introduces the Biochrom WPA Cell Density Meter CO8000.

The product is a robust, easy-to-use instrument dedicated to the measuring of the density of cells in suspension such as E. coli, yeast and other cell cultures. The handheld instrument has an integral battery allowing it to be taken to where the cell cultures are growing eg, in incubation cabinets, under anaerobic conditions or even in a fume hood or safety cabinets.

The robust instrument will accept a variety of cuvettes and tubes — including 10, 12 and 16 mm-diameter test tubes — meaning it can be used with Erlenmeyer side arm flasks. With no warm-up time, the product can be ready to use as soon as it’s switched on, providing results that should be comparable to larger, more expensive spectrophotometers.

The cell density of the cultures can be measured and the results stored in the memory. The results are given in absorbance units (OD). Once all measurements are taken, up to 99 sample results can be viewed on the screen or the instrument can be connected to a PC or printer and the results downloaded.

The rechargeable battery automatically recharges when connected to the mains and allows up to one month’s use (under normal conditions) on a single charge. It is easily cleaned with ethanol or sterilised with formaldehyde or ethylene oxide.
