UV-Visible Spectroscopy Products & Reviews

The SpectraMax® 190 UV-Vis Microplate Spectrophotometer from Molecular Devices is ideal for life science applications, especially DNA analysis. The multi-channel design truly mimics a dual-beam spectrophotometer. Each sample has a discrete sample beam and reference beam so that each well is measured directly, eliminating error due to variations in light output between the optic fibers. The system consists of eight sample beams…
