• SmartPath algorithms ensure that the sample is only compressed, never stretched, to keep the column intact.

SmartQC™ Contamination Alerts

• Multiple algorithms ensure confidence in results while also providing important information about possible sample anomalies.
• Surface Check: Check that previous sample has been removed.
• SmartPath™: Precisely select optimum pathlength for each sample.
• Bridge Testing™: Dynamic monitoring and adjustment ensures that sample column is formed.
• Spectral Analysis: Analyze for negative spectra, absorbance, within range, calculate purity ratios, and quantify.
• Alert: Check against threshold purity values, flag contaminated samples, display user guidance.
• Report: Save and report data ready for export, with optional auto-save to network drive.

Integrated Fluorescence

Unmatched Sensitivity: The DS-11 Series uniquely integrates an optional 4-channel fluorometer. Fluorescence mode enables up to 1000x more sensitivity. DeNovix Fluorometers are compatible with a wide range of commonly used quantification assays.

Cuvette Absorbance

Ultimate Flexibility: Use standard quartz or disposable cuvettes for up to 10 mm pathlength absorbance measurements (190 – 840 nm). Cuvette applications include nucleic acids, proteins, colorimetric assays, OD600, and custom standard curves. Systems include a cuvette block heater for Kinetics studies from 37 – 45°C.
