Description
The compact Thermo Scientific NanoDrop Eight Spectrophotometer measures eight samples at a time in less than 20 seconds. It is an ideal choice for pharma/biotech and academic researchers needing a higher throughput capacity for measuring nucleic acid and protein samples. NanoDrop Eight software identifies sample contaminants and reports true sample concentration with built-in Acclaro Sample Intelligence Technology.
Features:
- Advanced sample intelligence: By analyzing absorbance across the full spectrum, Acclaro software can identify contaminants and correct quantitation results.
- Rapid time to results: Results appear within seconds of initiating a measurement, and Auto-Blank and Auto-Measure settings can further streamline your workflow.
- Differentiates DNA from RNA: Acclaro software uses full-spectrum data to tease apart DNA from RNA and calculate corrected nucleic acid concentrations.
- Your dependable lab partner: Since they were introduced in 2001, NanoDrop spectrophotometers have become indispensable in many labs, accumulating over 55,000 scientific citations.
