State-of-the-art technology with an easy-to-use format in a compact footprint: that is the Eppendorf BioPhotometer! It's large key pads, pre-programmed methods, and pre-set wavelengths and conversion factors greatly simplify the sample quantification. The large LCD screen displays the sample concentrations, absorption values, OD260/OD230 and OD260/OD230 and sample dilutions at a glance.
