Description
Optical density measuring device Technical Field The utility model belongs to the field of measuring instruments, relates to a measuring instrument for biological experiments, and particularly relates to an optical density measuring device. Background When bacteria are cultured in a liquid medium, an Optical Density (OD) value of the bacterial liquid needs to be measured to evaluate the growth condition of the bacteria. From time to time, the experimenter usually takes a small amount of sample from the bacterial liquid in culture, and the OD value of the sample is measured by a conventional tabletop spectrophotometer. The operation process is tedious and time-consuming, increases the risk of pollution of the culture and the surrounding environment, and easily causes the experimenter to miss the optimal bacterial harvesting time in the rapid growth log phase of bacteria. An experimenter needs an instrument that can conveniently determine the OD of a culture in real time. The Chinese patent application CN110441237A provides a detection head of an immersion spectrophotometer, which can be directly placed in a water sample to be detected for real-time monitoring. The detection head is directly contacted with a water sample to be detected, and dirt stained on the detection head needs to be cleaned regularly when the detection head is used. However, the determination of the OD of a bacterial culture requires the prevention of cross-contamination between different samples, which places high demands on the cleanliness of the devices that directly contact the culture. Simple wiping does not allow sterility, and existing immersion spectrophotometers have difficulty in meeting the requirements for OD measurement of bacterial cultures due to the difficulty in sterilization.
