Affective, pocket-friendly, one-time investment. All data at one point.

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

DNA and proteins quantitification

The spectrometer covers a broad wavelength range from ultraviolet (UV) to near-infrared (NIR), allowing measurements across a wide range of biomolecules. The instrument is capable of detecting even small sample concentrations, enabling precise analysis of low-volume samples. The BioSpec Nano offers the ability to measure samples in microvolume cuvettes, which reduces the sample size required and allows for the efficient use of precious samples. The spectrometer has built-in temperature control capabilities, enabling measurements at specific temperatures to study thermal denaturation or other temperature-dependent phenomena. Overall best instrument and need low maintenance. It User-friendly software: Shimadzu typically provides user-friendly software with their spectrometers, allowing easy instrument control, data acquisition, and analysis.

Really easy to use compared to general UV-VIS spectrometers.

 

Average Rating 4.3

Application Area:

Quantification/concentration of protein reagents

It's really easy to use compared to general UV-VIS spectrometers and requires only small sample volume (around 1-5ul). When it comes to analyzing expensive reagent such as antibodies, it's very useful.
