Biowell Medical EnterpriseTURBIDIMETER
Product Description
The Turbidimeter replaces subjective visual comparison with objective photoelectric measurement. It measures the "cloudiness" or turbidity of a liquid by detecting the amount of light scattered by bacterial cells in a suspension. This ensures that every ID/AST card or panel is inoculated with a consistent concentration of bacteria (1.5X10^8 CFU/mL for a 0.5 McFarland), which is critical for the accuracy of Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) results.
