The Grant-bio DEN-1 is a compact densitometer for measuring the turbidity of cell suspensions in McFarland units. It reads from 0.00 to above 15.00 McF with 0.1 McF resolution and gives a result in just one second.

An LED light source at 565 nm and a factory calibration that is retained without power give reliable readings, and the unit can be user calibrated with commercial McFarland standards or lab-prepared suspensions. It takes 18 mm tubes directly, 16 mm tubes with the included D16 adaptor and 12 mm tubes with the optional A12 adaptor. The low-profile design takes very little bench space.

Typical applications:

  • Preparation of inocula for antibiotic susceptibility testing
  • Microbial identification
  • Cell density monitoring in fermentation

Key highlights:

  • Range: 0–15 McF
  • Resolution: 0.1 McF; precision ±3 %
  • Measurement time: 1 s
  • LED 565 nm light source
  • 2-year warranty

Applications

Typical applications include determining concentration of cells (bacterial
and yeast cells) in the fermentation process, detecting the susceptibility of micro-organisms
to antibiotics, identifying micro-organisms with various test systems, and measuring optical
density at fixed wavelength.
