Abstract:
Instruments, systems, and methods for measuring optical density of microbiological samples are provided. In particular, optical density instruments providing improved safety, efficiency, comfort, and convenience are provided. Such optical density instruments include a handheld portion and a base station. The optical density instruments may be used in systems and methods for measuring optical density of biological samples.

Claim (Index 18):
The system of  claim 12 , wherein the at least one sensor comprises at least two sensors including a density sensor and a nephelometric sensor, the density sensor being positioned opposite the emitter relative to the cavity to detect source light transmitted through a sample contained in at least one of the sample tubes and the nephelometric sensor being positioned perpendicular to an axis spanning the density sensor and the emitter to detect source light reflected by a sample in the sample tube.
