Information

The BioTek LogPhase 600 microbiology reader is designed for measuring microbial growth curves in up to four standard 96-well microplates. This OD600 plate reader features purpose-built robust shaking and consistent temperature controls, which are critical to optimal bacteria and yeast cell growth.

LogPhase 600 is controlled with a software application that provides a simple, yet powerful, user experience. Automated data acquisition and microbiology-focused analyses for all plates create a smooth, efficient workflow.

Features:

The unique 4-plate microplate reader allows you to use one instrument for microbial growth assays in multiple plates, and its compact size saves on bench space
The shaking mechanism is designed specifically for microbial growth assays. Cells stay in suspension for optimal growth and will not settle during long-term kinetic assays. Robust, reliable shaking delivers efficiency to your workflow
Condensation and evaporation control prevents light scatter and reading artifacts in sealed plates. Condensation Control creates a temperature gradient from above to below the plate, to prevent condensation and evaporation, ensuring accurate results
Consistent growth conditions deliver consistent data. The system provides excellent growth conditions for microbial growth assays giving you confidence in your data
The easy-to-use software has analysis tools designed for microbial growth analysis. Multiplate data can be viewed on the screen at the same time, saving processing time. New users can operate the system in minutes with minimal training

The LogPhase™ 600 App is specifically designed to control the LogPhase 600 Microbiology Reader to provide high quality microbial growth curves and analysis. The App is included with LogPhase 600 to help get your assays setup and running quickly. • Applications: • Yeast growth assays • Bacterial growth assays • Antimicrobial resistance • Algal research • Biofuels research • Food and beverage testing The LopPhase 600 App controls the LogPhase 600 Microbiology Reader for microbial growth assays Features: Easy-to-use interface and powerful analysis tools View data from 1 to 4 plates at a time.

Only 4-plate microplate reader on the market LogPhase 600 is the only 4-plate microplate reader on the market. You no longer need multiple instruments, multiple PC’s and vast amounts of bench space for your microbial growth assays. Keep your cells in suspension for optimal growth LogPhase 600 has a shaking mechanism designed specifically for microbiological growth assays – its robust and superior shaking ensures your cells will not settle, even during long term kinetic assays. Condensation and evaporation control Condensation on the sealed plates can cause light scatter and reading artifacts. The LogPhase 600 has Condensation Control™ with a temperature gradient from the top to the bottom of the plate, to prevent condensation and evaporation. Consistent growth conditions = consistent data Other systems can develop growth curve artifacts over time due to inconsistent shaking and growth conditions. LogPhase 600 provides the most consistent growth conditions for microbial growth assays on the market. Easy to use and powerful targeted app The LogPhase 600 App provides an easy to use interface with analysis tools designed for microbial growth researchers. New users can be up and running in minutes with very little training. Multi-plate data can be viewed on the screen at the same time. The LogPhase 600 App is specifically designed to control the LogPhase 600 Microbiology Reader to provide high quality microbial growth curves and analysis. The App is included with LogPhase 600 to help get your assays setup and running quickly. The to help get your mset up and running quickly and efficiently.
