Benchmark Scientific - NS1020 - SmartDrop XF Nano Spectrophotometer, 115V
Features
SmartDrop Nano Spectrophotometers for Microvolume Analysis of DNA, RNA, and Proteins.
- Quick and accurate results from a sample droplet
- Touch screen control panel, no PC or software required
- Built-in printer and cuvette port for OD600 readings
- XF model includes fluorometer for sensitive DNA quantification
The Accuris SmartDrop™ series of nano spectrophotometers provides quick and easy quantification of small samples. Utilizing a small sample volume eliminates the need for dilutions, providing more accurate results.
A full-color, 7" touchscreen with icon-driven menus and preprogrammed protocols gets users up and running quickly. No external computer is required. 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 numbers are displayed in a matter of seconds.
The resulting data can be printed, saved in the SmartDrop's onboard memory, or exported via USB as an Excel file. All SmartDrop models include an integrated printer. For OD600 readings, each model includes a cuvette port and two optical glass cuvettes. Three SmartDrop models are available to meet a range of applications and budgets.
SmartDrop XF - Spectrophotometer + Fluorometer
- Full-spectrum absorbance scanning and calculations of 260/280 and 260/230 ratios
- Long-life Xenon lamp with precision monochromator
- Auto-ranging path lengths of 0.05 mm, 0.2 mm, and 1.0 mm
- Detect up to 15,000 ng/µL of dsDNA without dilution
- Integrated fluorometer for sensitive quantitation of low-concentration nucleic acids
This top-of-the-line spectrophotometer can perform not only UV-Vis readings in the range of 200-800 nm but also fluorescence readings. Like the SmartDrop X, the SmartDrop XF features predefined programs for nucleic acids, proteins, and various colorimetric assays. The patented, motorized system gently stretches the sample column and allows for three different path lengths, providing accurate readings of samples from 0.5 to 2.0 µL without dilution.
The integrated fluorometer yields more accurate, sensitive, and selective quantitation of nucleic acids. The blue light channel (460 nm) is useful for detection of dyes such as PicoGreen and RiboGreen, as well as GFP and fluorescein. UV, green, and red channel models are available upon request.
