Product information
Microphotometer for DNA and RNA Analysis with 1-2 µl Sample Volume
The Photometer Nano-8000 is a microphotometer for molecular biology laboratories that determine DNA, RNA, and protein concentrations with minimal sample consumption. With a measurement volume of 1-2 µl, it is particularly suitable for precious samples in genomic research, diagnostics, and biotechnology. The wavelength range of 190-1100 nm enables versatile spectrophotometric analyses, while the integrated fluorescence measurement (excitation 625 ±20 nm, emission 670-725 nm) opens up additional applications.
The device features a xenon flash lamp with a long service life and no warm-up time, enabling fast measurements within 3 seconds per sample. The concentration range for dsDNA ranges from 2 to 11,000 ng/µl with a lower detection limit of 0.5 pg/µl. A 10-inch touchscreen with Android software enables intuitive operation. In addition, OD600 measurements with cuvette can be performed for cell density determination. With compact dimensions of 260 x 333 x 346 mm and a weight of 6.6 kg, the photometer fits into any laboratory.
The Nano-8000 combines precision, speed, and versatility for modern nucleic acid analysis. You can find further solutions for your laboratory in our categories Microscopy and Laboratory Analytics. Request your individual quote now!
Frequently Asked Questions About This Model
What applications is the Photometer Nano-8000 suitable for?
The Nano-8000 is designed for determining the concentration of DNA, RNA, and proteins. With a wavelength range of 190-1100 nm, it enables spectrophotometric measurements for molecular biology analyses. The integrated fluorescence measurement (excitation 625 nm, emission 670-725 nm) extends the range of applications. In addition, OD600 measurements with cuvette can be performed for cell density determination.
What concentration range can be measured with the device?
The photometer covers a concentration range for dsDNA from 2 to 11,000 ng/µl. The lower detection limit is 0.5 pg/µl, enabling highly sensitive measurements even with very small sample quantities. The required measurement volume is only 1-2 µl, ideal for precious or limited samples.
Which laboratories is the Nano-8000 suitable for?
The microphotometer is designed for molecular biology laboratories, research institutions, diagnostic laboratories, and biotechnology companies that regularly determine nucleic acid and protein concentrations. With rapid measurement of 8 samples within 20 seconds and the low sample volume, it is particularly suitable for routine analyses with high sample throughput.
What advantages does the xenon flash lamp offer compared to other light sources?
The xenon flash lamp offers a long service life and requires no warm-up time, so measurements can be performed immediately after switching on. This significantly speeds up the workflow. Measurement of a single sample takes place within 3 seconds, and only 20 seconds in total are needed for 8 samples.
What equipment and accessories are included with the device?
The Nano-8000 features a 10-inch touchscreen with Android-based software for intuitive operation. Standard commercial cuvettes can be used for OD600 measurements. With compact dimensions of 260 x 333 x 346 mm and a weight of 6.6 kg, the device is space-saving and mobile. The warranty period is 12 months.
