Optical density (OD), also known as absorptivity, is a property that describes the ability of a material to absorb the power of a specific amount of light passing through that material. It is defined as the ratio between the incident radiant power (the power of light as it hits the material) and the transmitted radiant power (the power of light as it leaves the material). Biofilm optical density, measured as intensity reduction of a light beam transmitted through the biofilm, correlates with biofilm mass, measured as total carbon and as cell mass. The method is more sensitive and less labor intensive than other commonly used methods for determining extent of biofilm mass accumulation.

Overall Solutions

CD BioSciences provides you with a variety of biofilm optical density (OD) analysis service to meet your scientific research needs. Our optical thickness of biofilm measured by optical microscopy was converted to physical thickness based on biofilm refraction measurements.

Biofilm Optical Density (OD) Analysis Approaches We Offer

• Biofilm TOC Analysis Services

TOC quantification of biofilms at CD Biosciences is typically performed in two steps, including measurement of total carbon (TC) and IC, and is used to determine TOC. we use instruments such as carbon analyzers to determine the exact method of sample preparation and quantification. However, the final calculation of TOC is generic and not instrument dependent. This is because TOC measures the carbon content of the entire biofilm, including bacteria and extracellular polymers (EPS).

• At CD BioSciences, simply let us know your specific project needs. We will suggest the best strategy for you.
• SPSS statistical software was used to examine the data for correlation coefficients.
