Thermo Fisher Scientific has announced the launch of the Nanodrop 2000 and 2000c spectrophotometers.
These UV-Vis instruments enable a five-second measurement time of DNA, RNA and proteins on a sample size as low as 0.5uL.
The instrument's software provides the ability to create custom methods and the flexibility to design reports and export data.
The Nanodrop 2000 and 2000c utilise a sample retention system that measures micro-volume samples directly on a pedestal.
The Nanodrop 2000c cuvette capability expands the types of samples that can be analysed on one platform.
In addition to microvolume pedestal measurements, labs can run kinetics (time and temperature studies) and analyse cell cultures (OD 600) and volatile samples with the Nanodrop 2000c.
With both pedestal and cuvette capability, the Nanodrop 2000c provides a broad concentration range - from sensitivity as low as conventional spectrophotometers to greater than 15,000ng/uL for dsDNA (with no dilutions).
Scientists who wish to try the Nanodrop 2000 or 2000c in their own laboratories with their own samples may do so as part of Nanodrop products free trial programme (available in the US and Canada only).
All Nanodrop products are backed by life science professionals with extensive experience in micro-volume analysis and can help users with specific application needs.
