Description
The Accuris™ SmartDrop™ series of nano spectrophotometers provides quick and easy quantification of small samples. Using a microvolume sample eliminates the need for dilutions, providing more accurate results. A full-color 7-inch touch screen with icon-driven menus and preprogrammed protocols gets users up and running quickly, and no external computer or software is required.
The SmartDrop™ L (NS1000) is the affordable choice for laboratories that need to determine nucleic acid and protein concentrations and sample purity. Its LED light source and silicon photocell sensor provide readings at 260 and 280 nm. Samples from 1.0 to 2.0 µl are loaded directly on the pedestal, results are provided in about 5 seconds, and the software automatically calculates and displays 260/280 ratios.
Each unit features a quartz pedestal onto which a drop of sample is placed. The arm is lowered and the drop is stretched into a liquid column of specified length for spectral analysis; DNA, RNA and protein concentrations and purity ratios are displayed in a matter of seconds. Results can be printed on the integrated printer, saved in onboard memory or exported by USB as an Excel file. For OD600 readings of bacterial cultures, every model includes a cuvette port and two optical glass cuvettes.
