Product information
Microphotometer for DNA Concentration Determination in Nanoliter Samples
The Photometer Nano-1000 is a compact microphotometer for the precise concentration determination of dsDNA in the smallest sample volumes of 0.5 to 2.0 µl. With a concentration range of 2 to 30,000 ng/µl and a lower detection limit of 0.5 pg/µl, the device is ideally suited for molecular biology laboratories, research institutions, and diagnostic laboratories where valuable samples must be analyzed with minimal material consumption.
The wavelength range of 190 to 1100 nm enables not only DNA quantification but also protein and RNA measurements. The device features a xenon flash lamp with no warm-up time and delivers measurement results within 3 seconds. The 10-inch touchscreen with Android software ensures intuitive operation. In addition, fluorescence measurement (red, 625±20 nm excitation) as well as OD600 measurement with a cuvette are possible. With compact dimensions of 260 x 333 x 346 mm and a weight of 5.8 kg, the photometer fits on any laboratory bench.
The Nano-1000 combines precision, speed, and versatility for daily nucleic acid analysis. For further analyses, you will find suitable laboratory equipment in our range. Request a quote now and increase the efficiency of your nucleic acid measurements.
Frequently Asked Questions About This Model
What applications is the Photometer Nano-1000 suitable for?
The Nano-1000 is used for concentration determination of dsDNA, RNA, and proteins in molecular biology. With a measurement volume of only 0.5 to 2.0 µl, it is particularly suitable for valuable samples such as PCR products, plasmid DNA, genomic DNA, and RNA isolates, where sample material must be conserved.
What concentration range can be measured with the Nano-1000?
The device covers a concentration range for dsDNA of 2 to 30,000 ng/µl. The lower detection limit is 0.5 pg/µl, enabling highly sensitive measurements even at very low DNA concentrations. The wavelength range extends from 190 to 1100 nm.
Which laboratories is the Photometer Nano-1000 suitable for?
The microphotometer is suitable for molecular biology laboratories, research institutes, diagnostic laboratories, and biotech companies. Wherever nucleic acid concentrations must be routinely determined and sample volumes are limited, the Nano-1000 offers a fast and reliable solution.
What distinguishes the Nano-1000 from standard photometers?
Unlike conventional photometers, the Nano-1000 operates with microvolumes of 0.5 to 2.0 µl instead of cuvettes requiring several hundred microliters. The xenon flash lamp requires no warm-up time, and measurement is completed within 3 seconds. In addition, the device enables fluorescence measurements and OD600 measurements with a cuvette for bacterial cell densities.
What maintenance and accessories are required?
The Nano-1000 operates with a low-maintenance xenon flash lamp with a long service life. A separate cuvette is required for OD600 measurements. Operation is via the integrated 10-inch touchscreen with Android software. The compact device (5.8 kg) requires only a standard power supply and a footprint of 260 x 333 x 346 mm.
