Determination of Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of antibiotics using OD600
Do you want to make your MIC measurements more efficient and automated? Find out here how BMG LABTECH microplate readers can support you in this task.
SPECTROstar Nano
Absorbance plate reader with cuvette port
BMG LABTECH’s innovative absorbance microplate reader has the flexibility to perform assays quickly and easily in both microplates or via the built-in cuvette port. This spectrometer-based absorbance microplate reader captures a full UV/visible spectrum in less than 1 sec/well. Its speed, simple push button operation, and capacity to store individual assay protocols make the SPECTROstar® Nano the leading microplate reader for absorbance measurements.
