Product information

Microphotometer for Nucleic Acid Quantification in Molecular Biology Laboratories

The Photometer Nano-500 is a precise microphotometer for the rapid quantification of DNA, RNA, and proteins in molecular biology, genetics, and biochemistry laboratories. With a measurement volume of only 0.5 - 2.0 µl, it enables sample-sparing analysis of the smallest sample quantities. The wavelength range of 200 - 800 nm covers both UV and visible spectra, while the integrated blue fluorescence measurement (excitation 460 ±20 nm, emission 525 - 570 nm) offers additional analysis options.

The device achieves a dsDNA concentration range of 2 - 4,500 ng/µl with a lower detection limit of 0.5 pg/µl and delivers results within 3 - 5 seconds. The xenon flash lamp requires no warm-up time and offers a long service life. A 7-inch touchscreen with Android software ensures intuitive operation, while the compact dimensions (208 x 320 x 186 mm, 3.6 kg) allow for space-saving placement. Additionally, an OD600 measurement with cuvette is possible for bacterial growth curves.

The Nano-500 combines micro and fluorescence measurement with fast analytical performance in a compact system. Discover further solutions for your laboratory analytics and request a customized quote.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Model

What applications is the Photometer Nano-500 suitable for?

The Nano-500 is designed for the quantification of dsDNA (2 - 4,500 ng/µl), RNA, and proteins. With the wavelength range of 200 - 800 nm, UV absorption measurements can be performed. Fluorescence measurement (blue, 460 ±20 nm excitation) enables sensitive DNA quantification down to 0.5 pg/µl. Additionally, OD600 measurement with cuvette is possible for bacterial growth studies.

What measurement volume does the device require and how fast are the results?

The photometer operates with a micro measurement volume of only 0.5 - 2.0 µl, enabling sample-sparing analyses with minimal material consumption. Measurement is completed within 3 to 5 seconds. The xenon flash lamp requires no warm-up time, so measurements can begin immediately after power-on.

For which laboratory areas is the Nano-500 designed?

The device is ideal for molecular biology laboratories, genetics departments, biochemistry labs, and research institutions that regularly quantify nucleic acids. With the combination of UV absorption and fluorescence measurement as well as the OD600 function, it covers the typical requirements in life science laboratories. The compact dimensions (208 x 320 x 186 mm) and low weight (3.6 kg) allow for flexible placement.

What distinguishes the Nano-500 from standard photometers?

Unlike conventional photometers, the Nano-500 combines three measurement modes: UV-Vis absorption measurement (200 - 800 nm), fluorescence measurement (blue), and OD600 with cuvette. The micro measurement volume of 0.5 - 2.0 µl conserves valuable samples. The xenon flash lamp offers instant measurement readiness without warm-up time, while the 7-inch touchscreen with Android software ensures modern ease of use.

What technical requirements and maintenance are necessary?

The Nano-500 is controlled via a 7-inch touchscreen with Android software and requires a standard power supply. The xenon flash lamp offers a long service life and minimizes maintenance effort. For OD600 measurements, a cuvette is required (not included in the scope of delivery). The device has compact dimensions of 208 x 320 x 186 mm and weighs 3.6 kg. It is supplied with a 12-month warranty.
