The Odin™ platform is the all-in-one, automated solution for phenotypic identification and characterization of microbes. Paired with our EcoPlate™, RhizoPlate™, or PreBioM™ series of microplate-based assays, Odin for Community Analysis allows for comprehensive characterization of mixed microbial communities and complex samples. With automated incubation and measurement of up to 50 plates on Odin L or 8 plates on Odin VIII, Odin delivers consistent, reproducible phenotypic data with minimal hands-on time at any scale.
Key Points:
- Automated plate incubation, kinetic measurement, and analysis
- Pair with Phenotypic Characterization capabilities to evaluate a community under hundreds or thousands of conditions spanning substrate utilization, metabolism, response to inhibitory compounds (e.g. antibiotics), osmotic and pH effects, and more
- Built in temperature control (22-45°C)
- Optical density detection at two wavelengths (490nm or 590nm, 740nm) for simultaneous growth and metabolic profiling
- Scalable throughput: 8-plate capacity on Odin VIII and 50-plate capacity on Odin L
- Analysis software included for evaluating community utilization of substrates by functional guilds, Shannon’s Diversity and Evenness indices, and more
