Hoefer, Inc. Announce the Introduction of the New Vision Life Science Spectrophotometers

The Vision Spectrophotometers include 16 predefined methodologies for nucleic acid quantification (DNA, RNA and oligonucleotides), protein assays (BCA, Lowry, biuret) kinetics, standard curve, cell density measurements and CY DYE for labeling of PCR Probes. Additionally, the Vision can accommodate up to 90 custom protocols.

The combination of the life science methods with rapid scanning, kinetics and concentration capabilities of the Vision Spectrophotometer make it a great addition to any molecular biology or biochemistry laboratory. The visualization of the nucleic acid scan with the full graphic display is particularly useful, especially for RNA samples where impurities might be present in the 230nm region, but not have an adverse effect on the Absorbance of 260/280 ratio.

In kinetics mode, the basic plot of absorbance against time may be supplemented with the result for δA/min plus the correlation coefficient is also calculated for the duration of the assay. This slope may be multiplied automatically by a factor to convert it directly to rate of reaction.
The Vision Life Science Spectrophotometer has novel Gifford optics for high energy combined with a Xenon source for long life. It includes a unique, integral cuvette tray for storage of expensive cells and sample support. Additionally, an optional integrated printer or wireless Bluetooth connectivity are available.
