APPLICATION NOTE
Monitor Effects of Nutrient or Antibiotic on Bacterial Growth
Continuously track E. coli growth in real time using microplate readers with onboard injectors, revealing how timed additions of glucose or antibiotics impact culture dynamics.
Unlock deeper insights into microbial growth by leveraging the SpectraMax® iD3s Multi-Mode Microplate Reader’s advanced shake and dual injector capabilities. This workflow enables precise, real-time monitoring of bacterial responses to nutrient and antibiotic additions, streamlining complex experimental setups and accelerating data-driven decisions for microbiology research.
Features:
- Advanced Shake Settings: Precisely control aeration and mixing for optimal microbial growth conditions.
- Onboard Dual Injectors: Add nutrients or antibiotics at specific time points without interrupting data collection.
- Workflow Editor in SoftMax® Pro Software: Easily set up complex, timed experimental protocols and kinetic reads.
- Continuous Kinetic Data Acquisition: Monitor growth curves and responses in real time across multiple conditions.
Benefits:
- Real-Time Visualization: Instantly see the effects of reagent additions on bacterial growth, including diauxic and monomorphic patterns.
- Flexible Experimentation: Execute sophisticated workflows, including timed injections and variable shaking, to match research needs.
- Efficient Data Reduction: Automated calculations for maximum OD600 and time to peak growth streamline analysis.
- Enhanced Research Productivity: Reduce manual intervention and accelerate experimental throughput for microbiology applications.
