ShakerOD
Online cell proliferation (optical density – OD) detection system for incubation shakers
shakerOD is a 6-channel system for parallel OD detection in culture vials that incorporates shake-accuRead technology. It is excellent for strain development, media optimization, minimal inhibitory concantration determination, DOE and other protocols where multiple tests need to be undertaken as it reduces the amount of required media and required space on your shaking incubator. The use of vials is simple as no adaptations from flask or other scales are required. Solutions for an easy integration of more shakerOD‘s are available.

-
Simple integration – small devices
shake-accuRead is an innovative transmitted light-based detection technology that is not disturbed by shaking and circulating of the liquids. All systems are factory calibrated so the acquired OD values are absolute and comparable with offline spectrophotometric detectors. For comparison, scattered light detectors provide only relative, arbitrary values, whilst shake-accuRead in shakerOD provides absolute OD values that can go up to OD 20.
shakerODread is an easy to use software for data acquisition from one or more shakerOD's. It features automatic calibration that's carried out before each measurement.
The acquired data is easy to handle as it can be opened directly with Excel, Notepad or similar softwares.
