NanoDrop 2000 and 2000c Spectrophotometers
Thermo Fisher Scientific announced the launch of the Thermo Scientific NanoDrop 2000 and 2000c Spectrophotometers. These UV-Vis instruments enable a 5-s measurement time of DNA, RNA and proteins on a sample size as low as 0.5 µL, reports Thermo Scientific. The instruments’ software provides the ability to create custom methods and the flexibility to design reports and export data, according to the company. Both the NanoDrop 2000 and 2000c utilize a patented sample retention system that 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 (OD600) and volatile samples with the NanoDrop 2000c. With both pedestal and cuvette capability, the NanoDrop 2000c provides the broadest concentration range ever offered by a spectrophotometer, from sensitivity as low as conventional spectrophotometers up to 15,000 ng/µL for dsDNA (with no dilutions), according to Thermo Scientific.
