The Biochrom Biowave Cell Density Meter is an easy-to-use instrument to measure the density of cells in suspension by measuring Absorbance (OD) at 600nm
The Biowave CO 8000 from Biochrom is an easy-to-use instrument to measure the density of cells in suspension (e.g. yeast cells and bacterial cultures) by measuring Absorbance (OD) at 600nm.
Completely portable, this hand-held instrument has a rechargeable battery, so it can be used in incubation cabinets, under anaerobic conditions, or in fume hoods and safety cabinets.
The CO 8000 gives a lifetime of stable and repeatable results for a very affordable price!
