Shimadzu Scientific Instruments has introduced a second UV/Vis spectrophotometer dedicated to bioscience applications. The compact and easy to use BioMini is capable of nucleic acid analysis, protein quantitation, and spectrum measurement. The comprehensive nucleic acid module provides quantitation methods for double and single stranded DNA, RNA and standard Warburg-Christian.
Onboard protein methods include Lowry, UV, BCA, Bradford and K Factor.
DNA companion programs assist in easy calculation of molecular weight and molar extinction coefficients.
DNA melting calculations provide information for optimisation of PCK and hybridisation experimentation.
