P.73 bullet 17: "Cell density is most accurately determined with a Z2 Coulter Counter Channelyzer. However, a spectrophotometer and OD600 absorbance readings can be substituted. One OD600 is equivalent to approx 3×10^7 cells/mL (primary source). However, OD600 absorbance readings are sensitive to the size of cells. In block-and-release protocols, where cell size increases dramatically, OD600 absorbance readings will increase whereas the cell number does not." |

Best to measure at OD<1 to insure linearity. Value depends on strain and conditions to a factor of several fold. |
