Photopette® Cell

Handheld Spectrophotometer
  • Determine Cell Density, Viability & Monitor Cell Growth
  • Quantify Protein with Bradford Assay
  • Determine Lactate & Ethanol Concentration
  • Direct Measurements in Sample - No Sample Transfer Needed
  • Export Data as CSV File to Cloud Server Or via E-Mail

Photopette® Cell is a handheld spectrophotometer designed to determine the cell density of mammalian cells, e. coli, spirulina, yeast and other cells at OD600, determine lactate and ethanol concentration and to be used on other enzymatic assays based on the NADH/NAD system. The software comes with inbuilt calibrations and allows the user to create own custom calibrations.

The Photopette® is battery powered and has a small footprint, which makes the instrument highly portable and able to use anywhere in the laboratory.
