Sub-microlitre DNA analysis

Designed for use with several Thermo UV/vis spectrophotometers, including the Spectronic BioMate 3, the Spectronic Genesys 10 Bio, and the Evolution 300, the nanoCell accessory offers sub-microlitre analysis capabilities for DNA and protein analysis in the life science laboratory. The nanoCell allows users to obtain the maximum amount of information from minute sample volumes. This is especially critical in laboratories performing assays for nucleic acids, RNA/DNA and protein concentrations that wish to limit the amount of sample used for analysis.

The nanoCell offers enhanced flexibility in biological sampling. The accessory is shaped exactly like a cuvette and fits into any standard 1 cm cuvette holder and can be used for small volume measurements as needed. This allows the option to perform some assays in traditional cuvettes, reserving the nanoCell accessory for small volume measurements. For convenience, the nanoCell offers interchangeable 1 and 0.2 mm measurement pathlengths.

Easy access and cleaning of the sampling area of the nanoCell accessory provides high reproducibility over multiple sample measurements and negligible sample carryover. The sample cleaning and loading process requires no washing or cleaning with buffer solutions, even when samples of dramatically different concentration are analysed.
