Cell density meter

The Biochrom CO 8000 Cell Density Meter is a simple, reliable instrument that measures the density of cells grown in suspension by measuring OD at 600 nm. This makes this instrument suitable for cells grown in suspension such as yeast and bacterial cultures.

The CO 8000 is completely portable, it is handheld and has a rechargeable battery with a long life enabling it to be taken to where the cell cultures are growing.

The meter can be used in incubation cabinets, under anaerobic conditions or even in a fume hood or safety cabinet. It is easily cleaned and accepts a variety of cuvettes and tubes.

The built-in memory stores up to 99 sample results for easy downloading to a PC. The LED source and fibre optics give stable results and require no maintenance or warm-up, simply switch it on and it is ready to go.
