BioSpec-nano: microvolume Specrophotometer

Quantitation of DNA and RNA can be rapidly and simply carried out with very small samples ranging from 1µL, and analysis throughput is improved due to dedicated functions, such as automated sample mounting and wiping, and easy-to-use operation software.

With a focus on ease of use, high-accuracy quantitation of nucleic acids and proteins has become quicker and faster

1 µL or 2 µL Nucleic Acid Quantitation​

Analysis can be performed with 1 µL (pathlength: 0.2 mm) or 2 µL (pathlength: 0.7 mm) samples.​

 

Easy Drop-and-Start Measurement

Automatic sample mounting eliminates the need for arm raising and lowering, and the automatic wiping feature makes wiping of the measurement sample unnecessary, enabling measurement of one sample after another.​​

Excellent Reproducibility and Measurement Accuracy​

High reproducibility is obtained even when measuring low concentration samples. High correlation is achieved with the measurement values provided with the double beam spectrophotometer.​

Capable of performing quantitation and purity checking of nucleic acids, quantitation of proteins, and photometric measurements (OD values displayed and printed for specified wavelengths, up to 8 wavelengths). Simply drop 1 to 2 μL of the sample onto the measurement window and press the instrument’s Start button (or click the Start Measurement button in the software window), and all steps in the process, from setting the optical path length, measurement, up until the task of wiping off the sample from the measurement window, are all carried out automatically. Troublesome work of moving arm up and down and wiping the sample from the measurement window now unnecessary. Moreover, when using the specialized software, all it takes to perform a measurement, output a report, export data, or carry out other common tasks is to click buttons on the toolbar.
