General Information DEN-1B Densitometer is designed for solution turbidity measurement in the range of 0.0 - 6.0 McFarland units (0 cells/ml - 18x10 cells/ml). DEN-1B is capable of measuring solution turbidity in a wider range (6.0 - 15.0 McFarland units) however, it is necessary to remember that in this case the standard deviation values increase.
Getting started 3.1. Unpacking Remove packing materials carefully and retain them for future shipment or storage of the unit. Examine the unit carefully for any damage incurred during transit. The warranty does not cover in-transit damage. Warranty covers only the units transported in the original package. 3.2.

Note! If the standard for 0.00 value is not available, fill the tube (of the kind that is used for operations and standards) with dis- tilled water; use the tube as the 0.00 value standard. 3.4.5. Insert the tube with the standard solution, corresponding to the calibration point value, into the socket (fig.3/1) of Densitometer.
Operation Recommendations during operation Remove the tube with the solution being measured before switching the unit on or off. It is recommended to keep the unit switched on for 15 min before starting the operation in order to stabilize it in the working mode. ...
