LAXCO, INC. CELL DENSITY METER
MicroSpek™ DSM
Fast, accurate, reliable, aordable MicroSpek™ DSM
Laxco introduces a revolutionizing new concept in Cell Density Meters. The DSM series brings you, for the rst time, the ability to measure a cell’s
density in micro-volumes and/or cuvettes and tubes. The DSM is a low-cost portable unit that can be used in small restricted spaces such as
incubation cabinets or under anaerobic conditions. Its internal rechargeable battery allows it to be conveniently used anywhere in the lab or taken to
areas where cultures are grown.
The DSM series 600nm wavelength light beam is absorbed by the cells as it passes through, and outputted as a McFarland units, percentage of
transmission (%T) or absorption (Abs). Test yeast, E. Coli and bacteria cultures (not recommended for mammalian cells) in suspension easily and
accurately. The DSM internal memory will store up to 1000 data points, and can be upload in excel format to PC software (Part # DSM-SWL-J9004, sold
separately).

CAPACITIVE TOUCH
The MicroSpek™ DSM series moves user interface into the 21st century with
capacitive touch buttons. Capacitive buttons are more reliable than mechanical
buttons such as membrane switches, and they are easier to clean. The user can
simply wipe down the front of the device and be assured that no liquid will
enter the device.
LCD DISPLAY
The
MicroSpek™
with 240 x 160 pixel resolution. The displays higher resolution allows for great
visualization of charts and graphs, and a vast improvement over the more
traditional segmented LCD displays that only can display predened
icons and segments.
FUNCTIONALITY
Functionality is packed into a small package with the DSM
series. Quickly and accurately measure McFarland units, %
transmission and absorbency in a micro-
volume, cuvette or tube in either
single measurement or time-
lapse mode.
DSM has a 3.5” monochrome graphical back-lit LCD display
E.Coli, Yeast & Cells
TIME LAPSE
The MicroSpek™ DSM series, users have the ability to take cell density data over
seconds, minutes, or even hours. Data is automatically stored and can be recalled
and displayed in either chart or graph formats.
CHARTING
Store up to 2000 data points on the DSM series and be able to display them into a chart
format. Easily scroll through the data with the up/down capacitive touch bottoms just
below the screen.
GRAPHING
The DSM series allows data points to be displayed in graphical format for better
visualization. Quickly and easily graph up to 2000 data points at a time.
