Spectrophotometer, ND-1000

The NanoDrop® ND-1000 is a full spectrum (220-750nm) spectrophotometer that provides scientists with a simple and robust instrument for quantification and evaluation of purity of samples, such as proteins and nucleic acids. The technology is based on a patented sample retention system, which allows for the analysis of sample sizes as small as 0.5ul, without the need for awkward cuvettes or capillaries. In addition, there is no need for sample dilution in most cases and the high absorbance capability of the instrument is reported to be 50 times that of traditional spectrophotometers.
