Technical Information:

The DSM-Dual ^TM instrument is a cell density meter that is portable, light weight, easy to use and battery powered. The device functions as a cell density meter for measurement of E. Coli, yeast cells and other biological agents in suspension at the 600 nm wavelength of light.

The instrument has the functions of % transmission (% T), logarithmic transmission absorption (Abs) and also provides an intervalometer for time-lapse recording. The instrument is sized to permit it to be used in smaller spaces, used in incubation chambers, anaerobic compartments or other environmentally controlled areas.

A LED provides 600 nm light that is focused to the sample to obtain the readings. A simple touch panel provides all the function buttons. The control panel with the user buttons is constructed of glass for easy wipe down and spill clean-up.

A USB 2.0 port is provided to connect to a PC.  The PC connection provides a method to input the instruments data collected for further analysis. A fully recharged battery assembly will provide 30 hours of operation free of AC power. The recharge time is 1-2 hours when the instrument is turned off.

Cleaning the instrument can be accomplished using common laboratory agents like de-ionized water, ethanol, or sterilized with formaldehyde or ethylene. Organic solvents like acetone should not be used as it may degrade the sample sites.

The DSM-Dual ^TM comes preconfigured to provide testing using extremely small drop 20 ul samples or using a standard 10 mm cuvette.
