The LogPhase 600 Microbiology Reader is in a class of its own, developed for the measurement of microbial growth curves in up to four standard 96-well microtiter plates at once. A robust shaking mechanism and precise temperature control are crucial for optimal growth conditions for bacteria and yeast cells. The LogPhase 600 is controlled with a software app to carry out measurements and corresponding analyzes for all plates.
LogPhase 600 is the only 4-plate microtiter plate reader on the market. You no longer need multiple instruments, multiple PCs and lots of space for your microbial growth studies.
LogPhase 600 was specially developed for microbial growth studies. A robust shaking mechanism ensures that the cells do not stick during long-term examinations.
Precise temperature control is essential for successful microbial growth tests. In the log phase 600, the incubation temperature is controlled by several sensors in order to ensure uniform heating throughout, without edge effects or evaporation.

Condensation Control™ sets a temperature gradient from top to bottom to prevent condensation on the foil-covered plates that cause light scatter and reading artifacts. (1) Condensation on plate films causes inaccurate and inconsistent measurements. (2) Condensation Control ™ in the LogPhase 600 prevents condensation and enables consistent data acquisition over the entire duration of the measurement.
The LogPhase 600 app offers easy-to-use analysis tools for researchers in the field of microbial growth curves. Within a few minutes you are familiar with the operation and ready to start a new experiment. The data from multiple plates can be viewed on the screen at the same time. The app automatically calculates "lag time", maximum rate (OD / min) and the time to the stationary phase.
