Microbial OD600 Measurement - Optical Density Measurement Principle and Method

Описание: This video explains about Microbial OD600 Measurement - Optical Density Measurement. OD600 measurement of bacterial culture. It is important to monitor OD for the induction of bacterial culture for recombinant protein production. Typically Induction is done at the exponential phase of the bacterial growth.

OD600 = Optical Density measured at 600nm.
OD600 measurement provides information about microbial growth.
Usually done in a cuvette in spectrophotometer.
Glass or Quartz cuvette can be used for measurement.
Growth measurements has applications in various areas like protein production, antibiotic resistance monitoring, etc
