The equipment must be connected to power with the USB-C charger – output: 20W max., input: AC 100-240V, 50/60Hz, 0.5A. The power supply/cord supplied by Implen is a USB-C adapter with 5V. Please charge the battery for at least for 3 hours prior to the first use.
(quartz, glass, or plastic cuvettes with a center height of 8.5 mm). Applications Overview ® The Implen OD600 is equipped with pre-programmed applications, the OD600 and McFarland methods. To select an application, tap on the corresponding icon and the method will open immediately. Method Icons Description...

Prior to any sample measurement at the start of a new method a blank measurement of either water or the ® buffer of the samples is required to give the Implen OD600 a reference of what zero should be. It is recommended to re-apply the blank and measure it as a sample to ensure the graph of the blank spectra is a flat line.
All data will be auto-saved to the Sample list. Accessing the Sample List: From the main OD600 or McFarland Application pages, tap on the Sample List icon. A new page will open, displaying a list of your previously measured samples.
Note: Highly concentrated acids and bases are not recommended. It is recommended to wipe the sample surface with a lint-free laboratory wipe immediately upon completion of each measurement. For more information about compatibility of specific solvents not listed above, please contact the Implen support team (support@implen.de) to check the compatibility.
However, if the device is connected to a charger while not in use, it will remain powered on indefinitely, without initiating the shutdown sequence. ® Note: If the Implen OD600 shuts down during a measurement; the data of this measurement are lost.
Cells are routinely grown until the absorbance at 600 nm (known as OD600) reaches approximately 0.4 prior to induction or harvesting. A linear relationship exists between cell number (density) and OD600 up to an absorbance value of 0.6, approximately.
Measurement Protocol Getting started To begin using the OD600 application, simply tap on the icon displayed on your device's Home screen. Perform Blank Measurement Add a blank solution to a cuvette and ensure that the filling volume (8.5 mm optical height) is sufficient to allow light path to pass through the solution.
All sample measurements and sets are automatically saved and can be accessed through the Sample List feature in the respective app. Data can be exported through the sample list function using a USB-Stick. Calculations OD600 = A * Ð OD600...
® Implen OD600 User Manual Version 1.0 McFarland Method Overview The McFarland standard is a technique used to estimate the density of bacterial suspensions by visual comparison with a series of turbidity standards. This method is particularly useful when direct cell counting is not feasible or practical.
® Implen OD600 User Manual Version 1.0 Container selection & Calibration This guide provides step-by-step instructions for selecting tubes and calibrating your instrument for accurate measurement of turbidity using McFarland units (MFU). Proper tube selection and calibration are essential for obtaining reliable results.
