Sensititre Nephelometer

Thermo Scientific™ Sensititre™ Nephelometer

The Sensititre™ Nephelometer is designed for the accurate preparation of microbial suspensions, a critical step in antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST). It ensures consistency by helping users achieve a suspension equivalent to the 0.5 McFarland Standard, reducing manual errors and enhancing workflow efficiency.

Key Features

• Accurate Inoculum Preparation: Prepares microbial suspensions with precision for inoculation into Sensititre AST plates.
• User Guidance System: Guides users to adjust the concentration of test colonies until an "in range" green indicator confirms the correct density.
• Minimized Manual Errors: Reduces reliance on numeric targets, lowering the risk of human error.
• Easy-to-Read LED Indicator: Provides clear, real-time feedback for quick, accurate adjustments.
• One-Touch Calibration: Simplified calibration protocol for consistent performance with minimal effort.
• Seamless AST Integration: Fits into manual, semi-, and fully automated workflows within the Sensititre AST system.
• Reliable and Consistent Results: Delivers reproducible outcomes with the support of Thermo Scientific’s quality service.
