The NanoDrop Spectrophotometer from NanoDrop Technologies is designed for measuring nucleic acid concentrations in sample volumes of one microliter. The key to this advanced spectrophotometer is its unique sample retention technology that overcomes the need for cuvettes when taking measurements. This is accomplished by placing the sample directly on top of the detection surface and using the surface tension to create a column between the ends of optical fibers. Thus the measurement optical path is formed. The sensitivity range for DNA detection is between 2 and 3700 ng/ul. The spectral range of the device is 220 to 750nm and it is possible to scan all of the wavelengths. A single measurement cycle takes only 10 sec. The instrument is driven by a PC, which allows you to archive a large number of measurements.
