Description
With the BioPhotometer plus, Eppendorf offers a compact UV/Vis photometer for use in molecular biology, biochemistry and cell biology.
The photometer provides instant, out-of-the-box access to 32 routine methods, of which 9 methods are freely programmable, e.g.:
* Measurement of DNA, RNA and protein concentration (UV and colorimetric)
* Incorporation rate of fluorescent molecules (550 nm/650 nm), e.g. for microarray experiments
* Enzymatic assays (e.g. peroxidase, alkaline phosphatase, β-galactosidase)
* Optical density of cells (OD 600)
Both measurement and calculation of results are performed at the press of a button, and the results of the analysis, as well as all accompanying data, are available at a glance. This guarantees safe, error-free operation and reliable results.
In addition to its low weight, the photometer is small, yet extremely sturdy due to a robust metal housing, which allows for easy transport and cleaning.
The BioPhotometer plus is designed for use with cuvettes such as the Eppendorf UVette®, but is also optimized for measurement of small volumes through the use of microliter cells such as Hellma® TrayCell.

"As far as I remember, the machine has a xenon flash lamp and not lasers. The disposable cuvettes can have 50 microliters volume. One more thing that I would like to mention is that while measuring the protein concentraiton using say Bradford method, standard curve is made by the machine and the sample concentration is directly reported in terms of mg/ml etc." |

"Really easy to use machine. Machine works by lasers, therefore does not need to warm up in order to function. Disposable cuvettes whith minimum volume of 70 microlitres. Machine measures ODs and calculates concentrations of dsDNA, ssDNA, oligos, RNA and protein." |
