"This reader is as fast as it is accurate. It is very convenient for the user and honestly, surpasses all competition. E-mailing the report makes it's use so smooth."

"I like the instrument, the most user friendly instrument I have ever seen. DeNovix's spectrophotometer can not be compared with other spectrophotometer. Android system make this instrument so cool like our mobiles. I have checked many RNA and DNA samples, results are reproducible with a small variation only."

"Our lab has recently purchased a DeNovix DS-11 spectrophotometer. I have used it for my miRNA quantification. It is a very simple and user friendly instrument. The best part is its sensitivity. It's a great value addition to our lab. The instrument has the android touch screen which makes it more user friendly and also trendy when compared to nanodrops from other companies. I think all labs should have this instrument."

"This instrument is very user friendly as it is coupled with android based applications. One can tap icons on the display and go ahead for quantification of DNA/RNA/Protein respectively. While performing tests, if you land on any errors, the instrument has an option to resolve the error on its own. This default setting ensures the user conducts their experiments without fear of ruining the instrument. We can save the data and retrieve it in excel format whenever it is required. This information saved in instrument can be mailed and develop the graphs for the same using other software available online. Or, you can just select the samples and tap of graph option which will develop the graphs on screen. These can be saved as JPEG screenshot and can be accessed. The accuracy and instant quantification makes this instrument a boon to researchers who struggle to get accurate and consistent results. The price of this instrument maybe costly but its worth having it."

"Very easy to use all-in-one product with simple operating methods. It's easy to use, stable and robust. It´s the best partner in the lab!"

"We really love the ability to get results by only using 1 microliter of liquid (1 microgram of protein) when before we had to waste at least 0.5 milligrams of protein ( 1 milliliter of liquid) to get absorbance results. It has saved us more times than we can count with quantitation of various liquid concentrations. We don't know how we survived before without it!"

"Extremely easy to use all-in-one product with simple operating methods and the most accurate DNA quantification I ever obtain in my entire reseach years!"

"Does everything well and easy for staff and students to use."

"This product is relatively easy to use. There are a couple of caveats. I like the Android system however I am an Android user. I could see an Apple user finding the interface confusing. It took us a little bit of trial and error to get the thumb drive working. Don't have a DYMO printer or a WIFI printer and setting up a networked printer seemed like a lot of work. The thumb drive export is perfect. It makes a .CSV file that opens easily and is easily manipulated in Excel. One thing to note is that only a FAT32 formatted drive will work. Rather than these couple of things the DS-11 is accurate and super fast two things we were missing in our cuvette spec."
