Growth profiler

Live measurement of growth in microplates

The Growth profiler is a patented incubator-shaker with 10 global shutter cameras located underneath each of the 10 microplate slots. The growth of up to 960 cultures can be simultaneously measured online and analysed with our Growthviewer software. The Growth Profiler has been advancing high throughput screenings of many companies and academic institutions for the past 10+ years.


High oxygen transfer rates & wide OD range

Oxygen transfer rates of 40 mmol/L. h are readily reached at 250 rpm/50mm, both in 96- and 24-square well MTPs, allowing exponential growth up till cell densities of 8 -10 OD600 values. This allows for a more accurate determination of maximal growth rates in comparison to e.g. microplate readeras, where maximal growth already stops around OD 1. The OD range that can be measured is 0.05 to 200.


Extensive & frequently updated data analysis software

The Growth profiler comes with our software application 'Growthviewer' which generates graphs of the change of your optical density (OD) over time. These graphs and data points can be used for maximum growth rate quantification, lag phase quantification & maximum OD end point measurements.


Robotic handling

The Growth profiler can be equipped with robot friendly clamping systems and a robotic arm to allow for a fully robotized workflow. For more information on combining robotics with the growth profiler refer to this page.
