Nano UV-Vis Spectrophotometer - Microvolume DNA and Protein Analyzer - 190-910 nm

The Master Science Nano UV-Vis Spectrophotometer quantifies DNA, RNA and proteins from just 0.5 to 2 µL of sample, placed directly on a stainless steel and quartz-fibre pedestal. Three automatic path lengths extend the range so most samples can be read without dilution, and the drop can be recovered afterwards.

A cuvette slot reads OD600 for bacterial and microbial cultures. Everything runs from a 7-inch Android touch screen with on-board storage, so no computer is needed.

Common Laboratory Problems and How This Instrument Helps

How the Master Science Nano UV-Vis Spectrophotometer simplifies quantification:

• Losing sample volume in cuvettes: 0.5 µL drops, recoverable.
• Time spent diluting: automatic path lengths.
• Needing a PC for every reading: stand-alone Android system.
• Separate instrument for OD600: built-in cuvette slot.
