Affordable choice for fast, reliable measurements
Description
Quickly and easily assess sample concentration and purity ratios with the NanoDrop™ Lite Plus Microvolume Spectrophotometer.
Designed for routine measurements of nucleic acid and protein samples using only 1-2 μL, the NanoDrop Lite Plus Spectrophotometer delivers exceptional accuracy and reproducibility in an easy-to-use, affordable package.
This entry-level model is ideal for scientists that prefer the trusted NanoDrop technology, but do not need the advanced capabilities or full spectral data of the Thermo Scientific™ NanoDrop™ One/OneC instruments.
- Standard measurements
Measures purified DNA, RNA, and protein concentration up to 30 Abs
- up to 1'500 ng/μL dsDNA
- up to 1'200 ng/μL RNA
- up to 45 mg/mL BSA
Calculates critical A260/A280 and A260/A230 purity ratios - Fast, accurate measurements from only 1-2μL - saves precious samples, no waste
- Sample retention technology uses surface tension to hold the sample in place - no cuvettes or expensive consumables are needed
- Intuitive interface
- built-in touchscreen operation
- no computer needed - Data storage and transfer
- last 1000 measurements saved locally; export data to a USB device - Optional printer available for freezer-compatible labels (not included)
- Compact and portable - fits on any lab bench, ready for your next experiment
- Affordable priced - stretch tight budgets
The NanoDrop Lite Plus instrument is a valuable teaching tool and ideal for quality check measurements in busy research labs as well. The system measures purified DNA, RNA, and protein concentration up to 30 Abs and calculates critical A260/A280 and A260/A230 purity ratios. The pioneering sample-retention technology eliminates the need to dilute highly concentrated samples making measurements easy. Simply pipette your sample directly onto the optical measurement pedestal, measure, and wipe clean. Built-in control simplifies operation, so even new users can quickly get results.
