Implen OD600 Data Sheet

The Implen OD600® is a high-precision, portable optical density (OD) meter designed for fast and accurate cell density measurements at 600 nm. Ideal for microbial growth analysis, bacterial culture monitoring, and McFarland turbidity testing, it provides reliable data for laboratories in microbiology, biotechnology, and life sciences research.

With a compact, lightweight design and integrated battery providing over 8 hours of continuous operation, the Implen OD600® ensures portable, field-ready performance, even in incubation chambers, anaerobic conditions, or biosafety hoods. The glove-compatible 3.5″ touchscreen and intuitive interface allow easy operation and data management, making it suitable for both professional and non-specialist users.

Key Features of Implen OD600®

  • Fast and Accurate OD600 Measurements – Measures optical density at 600 nm (OD600) and McFarland turbidity with high precision (OD600: < ±0.01 A; McFarland: ≤ ±0.1 MFU).

  • Built-In OD600 & McFarland Programs – Streamlines bacterial growth monitoring, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and inoculum preparation.

  • Portability & Stand-Alone Operation – Lightweight (0.6 kg), compact (140 x 110 x 70 mm), with integrated rechargeable battery and external power options.

  • Broad Compatibility Without Adapters – Supports DiluCells, cuvettes (10 mm macro, semi-micro), and tubes (10–18 mm).

  • User-Friendly Touchscreen Display – Glove-compatible, 3.5″ touchscreen with smooth glass surface for easy operation in labs and biosafety cabinets.

  • Advanced Data Management – 4GB internal storage, real-time sample list, and easy export to USB in .xls or .csv formats.

  • LIMS Integration – Connect via WiFi or LAN/Ethernet (REST API PUSH) for seamless laboratory information management.

  • Maintenance-Free – Lifetime accuracy without the need for recalibration or maintenance.
