Kit contents
The plate with E. coli selective freeze-dried medium 96 well × 4
Features
・Measure 96 samples at the same time
・Measurement time is only 3 hours
・Reasonable price for 250 JPY per test
・Only 200 μL of sample volume is needed
Operation procedure
(1) Set the plate reader at 37 °C
(2) Make holes in the seal attached to the plate (or remove the seal.)
(3) Dispense 200μL of the test sample into each well of medium-containing 96-well plate.
(4) Set the excitation wavelength at 360 nm and the measurement wavelength at 460 nm. Measure every 10 minutes for 3 hrs.
