The Odin™ platform is the all-in-one, automated solution for phenotypic identification and cellular characterization. Paired with our Phenotype MicroArrays and MycoPM™ plates, Odin for Phenotypic Characterization allows scientists to comprehensively characterize bacteria, yeast, or fungi, testing hundreds to thousands of substrates and growth conditions in a single experiment. 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
- Evaluate thousands of phenotypes spanning substrate utilization, metabolism, response to inhibitory compounds (e.g. antibiotics), osmotic and pH effects, and more
- Scalable throughput: 8-plate capacity on Odin VIII and 50-plate capacity on Odin L
- Built in temperature control (22-45°C)
- Optical density detection at two wavelengths (490nm or 590nm, 740nm) for simultaneous profiling of growth and metabolism
- Analysis software included for evaluating kinetic curves, pairwise comparisons between samples, and more.
