Agilent BioTek LogPhase 600 Microbiology Reader

Description

The Agilent BioTek LogPhase 600 is a dedicated microbiology plate reader for monitoring microbial growth. Its primary function is to measure growth curves simultaneously in up to four standard 96-well microplates. The system operates within a wavelength range of 560 nm to 640 nm, depending on configuration, and utilizes two photodiodes for measurement and reference. Key hardware features include integrated shaking and consistent temperature control, which are critical for maintaining optimal and reproducible conditions for bacterial or yeast cell cultures. The device is controlled by dedicated software that manages data acquisition and provides analysis tools specifically tailored for microbiology applications, offering a streamlined user interface for running experiments and interpreting results.
