"I really like this spectrophotometer! We have a lot of undergraduate workers in our lab and this machine is so easy to use and user friendly I don't worry about leaving them alone. We also have a shared lab space with limited bench top area available, I love that the Denovix doesn't require an extra computer and takes up a small area in the lab. I don't think it does well with samples that are less than 10-20 ng/ul, if this could be improved that would be much more applicable to some of our blood samples that mostly seem to be <20ng. I haven't seen much after sales care, I've only gotten one notification about an update. Overall, we are very happy with our machine."

"Works very well and accurate. We use it to measure DNA concentration and works great."

"Very user-friendly. The analysis is fast and accurate. Good for multiple purposes, it replaces several old instruments. High repeatability. Good value for money."

"Our DeNovix spectrophotometer is very user friendly, quiet, efficient and has a very small footprint, which is valuable in limited lab space. It has exceed our expectations. The trial period was generous enough to let us test the machine in many different applications. When we decided to purchase, the process was seamless and we had absolutely no down time. Not only is the machine superior, but the sales staff of Imgen were very helpful before, during and after the purchase of the instrument. Questions were answered quickly and correctly: not necessarily always the case with an issue. I especially want to commend Beth Clark as our intermediary with DeNovix."

"Easy, sensitive, and convenient. The computer and touchpad system works efficiently. Good product!I currently use the spec for measuring the concentration of DNA or proteins in my purified samples. For these purposes, it works very well and when tested against larger control samples measured in a classical spectrophotometer, it holds up well enough. I have yet to try any of the fluorescence capabilities, but intend to give it a try in the near future. Although I don't have a larger fluorometer to compare it to, I imagine it will perform as well as for its other functions. Absolutely recommend, takes up a minimal space for a very accurate UV/VIS spectrophotometer, fluorometer. Footprint smaller than the usual single type of use instrument"

"We were looking for a microvolume spectrophotometer to quantify nucleic acids. In a benchmark study with demo devices using PCR amplicons as samples, the DS-11 FX clearly outperformed one of the competitors (Implen N80) and equalled the other (Nanodrop One). Thanks to the fluorometer the DS-11 FX offers the broadest nucleic acid detection range (by far) among the three devices tested. Now we use our brand new DS-11 FX for gDNA, RNA and PCR amplicon quantification and to QC our NGS samples. In addition we use it for proline determination, total protein determination, cell permeability assays with fluorescent labels, etc."

"We use this product for teaching and analyzing nucleic acids most of time."

"Very useful piece of equipment! Reads both at UV and visible wavelengths to replace two of our spectrophotometers. Small footprint in the lab since it does not require a computer to run. Takes measurements very quickly and is consistent over time."
