great multifunctional spectrophotometer.
dsDNA concentration and purity
NP80 NanoPhotometer is a great, multifunctional tool for everyday molecular lab applications. DNA measurements are quick, repeatable, and reliable. The interface is user-friendly and easy to operate. You can test your samples, view your data in a table, or visualize it as a graph. Data export is simple, and transferring your results to MS Excel is effortless. The tool itself is compact and portable. The built-in shaker works well, ensuring proper sample mixing. Another big advantage is its dual operation mode: you can obtain a quick read from a drop (less than 1 µl of sample works fine) or easily control your dilution process thanks to the cuvette slot. And last but not least, it even features an awesome screensaver series with Professor Beer.

Smart design and easy to use, better than a NanoDrop.
Testing protein, amino acid and bacterial concentration
We have found this device to be incredibly easy to use and intuitive while offering a wide range of features. Reads are reliable and consistent. The convenience of an on board screen and internal battery (allowing it to be moved to anyone's desk temporarily) can not be over stated. There's a lot of functionality in this little machine and we are very happy with it.

All the students in the lab love it!!
Kinetics and quantification of small biomolecules, proteins and aptamers
Implen N80 is a very handy spectrophotometer. It's reliable, standalone, with a friendly and logical interface human-machine that works even unplugged to the electric power thanks to the batteries. There's no need to dilute high concentrated samples as the analysis by the nanodrop compartment can adjust the path length. It's also possible to conduct experiments inside a cuvette even at 37ºC. Data can be exported wirelessly or by using a flash drive. Amazing!! I liked it so much that I'm considering to buy a second one.

Great value for the investment and versatile instrument that takes little space.
Teaching Analytical Chemistry, Forensic Science Research, Biochemistry research
The product is very easy to use and operate. It has both the cuvette option and microdroplet option that works with several organic solvents. The software interface is very intuitive and easy to navigate with emphasis on biochemical and microbiological applications. The droplet mode works with two different type and microvolumes. The cuvette can be used for kinetic study at 37 C. There is even a vortexer for quick mixing. The design was very considerate for the users. The battery power also lasts a long time. The space it takes is minimal.

Love the new design, easy to use!
Functional group quantification in organic aerosols
We used to have the NanoPhotometer P300, which worked well for us - but upgrading to the new NP80 was such a great choice. The changes to the instrument have made our analyses much easier and more efficient. Especially the new design for the sample platform has made a huge difference.

Great value and user friendly
Measure concentration of extracted nucleic acids
Great machine! I love the ability to switch between cuvettes and microvolumes, operating it on the touch screen and using a computer to do so. My only issue with the machine was the inability to edit the sample name when mistakes are made but that has been resolved by the new software.
