Biotek has announced the launch of the Epoch multi-volume spectrophotometer system for monochromator-based absorbance measurements in volumes as low as 2ul.
The system includes the Epoch microplate spectrophotometer and the Take3 multi-volume plate, controlled via Gen5 software.
These two products combine to provide a solution for the life science laboratory that has multiple users, multiple assays and the need to preserve precious nucleic acid and protein samples by using very small volumes for quantification.
With its wavelength range of 200nm to 999nm, the Epoch microplate spectrophotometer provides high performance in nucleic acid and protein quantification, wavelength scanning, end point, kinetic and well area scanning in 6- to 384-well microplates.
The Take3 plate allows users to measure up to 16 2ul samples, two Biocells or a standard cuvette.
The Take3 interface in Gen5 software makes low-volume nucleic acid quantification fast and easy with its pre-programmed protocols and data output.
Additional information on the Epoch multi-volume spectrophotometer system components may be found at the company's website, and on-site demonstrations are available through Biotek's global network of microplate specialists.
