Description
Features:
Enhance the limit of detection for DNA, RNA and protein with the Thermo Scientific NanoDrop 2000c UV-Vis spectrophotometer featuring both microvolume pedestal and cuvette measurement options. The cuvette station is ideal for measuring dilute nucleic acid and protein assays, includes heating and microstirring capabilities, and allows users to perform kinetics and cell culture readings (600nm).
- Wide spectral range (190-840nm) for measuring a variety of samples types:
- Peptides (205nm)
- DNA and RNA (260nm)
- Purified protein (280nm)
- Toxicology assays and industrial dyes (490nm)
- Gold nanoparticles (520nm)
- Colorimetric protein assays (BCA 562nm, Bradford 595nm, Modified Lowry 650nm, Pierce 660 660nm)
- Optical Density measurements (600nm)
- Combining the patented sample retention system with cuvette capability accommodates low and high concentrations
(0.4 to 15,000 ng/µL dsDNA and 0.01 – 400 mg/mL BSA) - Pedestal measurements that require only 0.5 – 2 µL of your sample and do not require sample dilution, even for highly concentrated samples
- Calculates sample purity ratios (260/280 nm and 260/230 nm)
- Pre-configured methods for DNA, Protein A280, Microarray, Protein and Labels, Pierce 660, Bradford, BCA, and Lowry
- Fast measurement time of less than 5 seconds, 10 -15 seconds from sample pipette to wipe
- User-friendly software that includes custom methods and data export capabilities
