Reliable results, easy to use, quick.
Application Area: DNA, RNA, protein concentration, absorbance measurements
"The product is easy to use. There are several modes of measurement. It is possible to measure the concentration of DNA/RNA directly, and it is also possible to measure the absorbance at different wavelengths. It is possible to do the measurement at micro volumes (min 1 ul) or use the cuvette. The protein concentration measurements are slightly more complicated, because it is possible to use several different modes of measurement so you need to establish which one is the best for your protein. We have had the instrument for around 5 years now, and we have not had any problems with it and have not needed to use their customer service, so far."
In addition, data generated using the on-board software can be stored internally or transferred using a USB memory stick. Alternatively, both the PC-only and standalone instruments can be controlled using a PC and BioDrop Resolution Software. Users can also choose an optional built-in thermal printer for maximum flexibility.
BioDrop DUO has an in-built sample port with no moving parts. Because the pathlength doesn’t move, the instrument provides excellent reproducibility. Measure-ments are also highly accurate because the pathlength is specified to +/- 5μm.
