Thermo Fisher Scientific launched the Thermo Scientific NanoDrop 2000 and 2000c Spectrophotometers. The UV-Vis instruments enable a 5-second measurement time of DNA, RNA, and proteins on a sample as low as 0.5uL.
The instruments’ innovative software provides the ability to create custom methods and the flexibility to design reports and export data, according to Thermo Fisher Scientific. Both instruments utilize a patented sample retention system which measures micro-volume samples directly on a pedestal. The NanoDrop 2000c cuvette capability expands the types of samples that can be analyzed on one platform. In addition to microvolume pedestal measurements, labs can run kinetics (time and temperature studies) and analyze cell cultures (OD 600) and volatile samples with the NanoDrop 2000c.
