Frequently Asked Questions About This Model
What is the Photometer Nano-400A used for?
The Nano-400A is used for quantifying nucleic acids such as dsDNA and RNA at 260 nm and 280 nm, as well as for cell density determination via OD600 measurement with cuvette. It is suitable for molecular biology applications in research, for example prior to PCR, cloning, or sequencing.
What concentration range can be measured with the Nano-400A?
The device covers a concentration range for dsDNA from 10 to 2,500 ng/µl. Only a measurement volume of 1.0 - 2.0 µl is required, which minimizes the consumption of precious samples and is particularly advantageous for small sample quantities.
Which laboratories is the Photometer Nano-400A suitable for?
The microphotometer is designed for molecular biology and microbiological research laboratories, universities, biotech companies, and diagnostic facilities. Thanks to its compact dimensions of 208 x 280 x 186 mm and low weight of 2.0 kg, it is also ideal for smaller laboratory spaces.
What sets the Nano-400A apart from standard photometers?
Unlike conventional photometers, the Nano-400A operates with UV LED technology that requires no warm-up time and offers a very long service life. Measurement takes only 6 seconds with a minimal sample volume of 1.0 - 2.0 µl. The 7" touchscreen with Android software enables modern, intuitive operation.
What maintenance and accessories are required for the Nano-400A?
Thanks to the low-maintenance UV LED technology, regular lamp replacement is not required. Suitable cuvettes are needed for OD600 measurements. The device is supplied with a 12-month warranty. The measurement surface should be cleaned according to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure accurate measurement results.
