Apart from the button programs, BactoBox® has a few specialized programs.
Click the tabs to read more about the available programs.
Select Conductivity to run a conductivity check.
The device reports electrical conductivity (EC) in µS/cm. The value is not temperature-compensated.

Use Custom measurement for special gating settings (for example, endospores).
Create custom programs in BactoBox Explorer. Upload them via Access.
