Myco MY-600 600g x 0.1g Digital Pocket Scale

Product Information

Use our percentage calculator to work out increases, decreases or percentage differences. Common uses include calculating tax, statistics, savings increases, Growth during this phase is exponential and metabolic activity is uniform across cells; bacteria in this phase are also most susceptible to antibiotics, for example, making it the ideal phase for research work.

Measuring the OD600, or the optical density (OD) at 600 nm, is the easiest way to gauge the bacterial culture growth stage. Optical density measures the degree of light scattering caused by the bacteria within a culture; the more bacteria there are, the more the light is scattered. Percentages are represented by the symbol "%" and provide a standardized method to compare quantities or indicate changes. You'll find them used inSo, recording an OD value in your lab book doesn’t really mean anything as this number is as much dependent on your spec as on the density of your culture. Calculating the Cell Density from OD 600

Start by making a suspension culture of the cells you are interested in, then diluting it to obtain a series of samples with ODs of =2, 1, 0.8, 0.6, 0.4, 0.2, and 0.1 on your spec. (NB: don’t make serial dilutions as these are very inaccurate.) Use long addition to add your number columns from right to left, carrying as you normally do for long addition.b is an integer and is the power of 10 required so that the product of the multiplication in standard form equals the original number As an example, consider the speed of light which travels at about 671,000,000 miles per hour. Written in standard form this number is equivalent to 6.71 x 10 8.
