Cell Culture OD quantification

The NanoDrop® ND-8000 Spectrophotometer can be used to monitor light scattered by non-absorbing suspended cells. The "Cell Cultures" module displays the spectrum data from 250 nm to 700 nm. One cursor is fixed at the frequently used wavelength for monitoring microbial cell suspensions (600nm) while the second cursor can be set to the wavelength of interest.

• Full spectrum (220-750 nm) is displayed; OD at 600nm is also shown
• Reblank feature allows for the re-analysis of previous set of samples with a new set of references (blanks) for each channel
• Full spectrum data is automatically archived in a text delimited file on the controller PC and easily reviewed using the Data Viewer feature
• Sample or plate ID can be preloaded by using a barcode reader or importing from a file
• OD is represented as a 1mm path equivalent
