Quality Control
NanoDrops
N
anoDrop ™ instr uments were
the first microvolume UV-Vis
spectrophotometers and f luorospectrometers designed specifically for the
life science market.
The patented sample-retention
system enables direct measurement
of 0.5-2?l samples without wasteful
dilutions and expensive consumables.
The innovative pedestal design and
pre-programmed methods make the
process as simple as pipette, measure
and wipe clean.
The highly polished stainless steel
pedestals ensure no sample carryover.
By reducing sample waste and providing accurate results in seconds,
NanoDrop instruments have changed
the way scientists analyse DNA, RNA
and proteins.
With over 30 000 instruments in
labs worldwide, they have become a
recognised standard for microvolume
instrumentation. Thousands of scientists rely on these instruments to deliver
accurate sample concentration and
purity assessment from routine quality
checks to the evaluation of precious
samples for demanding, downstream
applications.
The different NanoDrop
models are:
NanoDrop 2000c/2000 UV-Vis
Spectrophotometers
• Measures nucleic acid, protein and
colourimetric assays
• Full spectral data and purity analysis
• Measures samples as small as 0.5µl
up to 2µl
• Microvolume and cuvette measurements with a single instrument.
NanoDrop 3300 Fluorospectrometer
• Full-spectrum microvolume fluorescence measurements
• Fluorescence that is made compact
and simple
• H igh per for ma nce LEDs t hat
replace filters for excitation.
NanoDrop 8000 UV-Vis
Spectrophotometer
• Higher-throughput and full-spectrum microvolume measurements
• Can analyse eight samples at a time
• Full spectral data for each sample.
NanoDrop Lite Spectrophotometer
• Basic nucleic acid and purif ied
protein measurements
• Local control instrument
• Compact design
• Optional printer. ?
