MULTIBAC 2.0 Impedance and turbidity analyzer to detect, quantify and research microorganisms. cc 327 – correo central Tel/Fx: 54-381-4364120 cfelice@herrera.unt.edu.ar www.ibi.herrera.unt.edu.ar
Technical specifications • 30 impedance channels • 30 turbidity channels • Two incubators • The impedance include: • medium resistance • interface reactance • interface resistance • Friendly windows-based user interface
Technical specifications • Low cost technology • Hard and easy construction
Advantages with MULTIBAC • Aerobic or anaerobic culture cells • Better impedance interface growth curves with our patented technique • Data in familiar and exportable ASCII and mdb formats to off-line analysis.
Two incubators with independents temperatures ranges to analyze microorganisms growth Impedance and turbidity simultaneous measurements with easy-handling cells
Advantages with MULTIBAC • Opaque sample ?, measure impedance, do not dilutions. • Small impedances changes ?, use turbidity. • Not medium resistance changes ?, measure imterface impedance.
Applications • Foods industry • Farmaceutical industry • Cosmetic industry • Oil industry • Clinical samples • Examples: milk, beer, meat, fish, water, urine, juices, etc.
Applications • Detection and quantification of microorganisms. • Biocides ranking. • Microbial growth characteristics analysis with two simultaneous methods: impedance and turbidity.
