Thermo Scientific NanoDrop One spectrophotometers designed to identify contaminants, providing accurate concentrations
ASHG 2015–Life scientists whowork with DNA, RNA and proteins can make educated decisions about samplesuitability in experiments using a standalone, microvolume spectrophotometerfor accurate quantitation and purity measurements to ensure downstreamapplication success. Thermo Fisher Scientific will be showcasing the NanoDropOne and NanoDrop OneC this week at theupcoming 65th Annual Meeting of the American Societyof Human Genetics (ASHG), taking place in Baltimore, Maryland, October 6-10,2015, Booth #1415.
“Building on the success of previous NanoDropinstruments, used by thousands of scientists worldwide, we have designed theNanoDrop One instrument to provide simplicity and speed as well as informationon sample quality”
The ThermoScientific NanoDrop One and NanoDrop OneC UV-Vis microvolumespectrophotometers are designed to help life science researchers gain amore complete understanding of sample quality and avoid costly delays due totroubleshooting and repeating experiments. These new spectrophotometersintroduce the Thermo Scientific Acclaro Sample Intelligence technology, whichenables researchers to:
· Identify sample contaminants and obtain correctedconcentration results;
· Receive instant feedback about sample quality withon-demand technical support and guided troubleshooting; and
· Confidently measure samples with embedded sensor anddigital image analysis.
“Building on thesuccess of previous NanoDrop instruments, used by thousands of scientistsworldwide, we have designed the NanoDrop One instrument to provide simplicityand speed as well as information on sample quality,” said Dr. Voula Kodoyianni,product manager, molecular spectroscopy, Thermo Fisher. “This allows scientiststo accurately quantify and qualify nucleic acid and protein samples, so theycan make informed decisions on sample use in downstream applications.”
The NanoDrop Oneinstrument with its high-resolution, touchscreen interface makes it simple touse as a compact, ergonomic instrument, while the powerful auto-rangepathlength technology facilitates accurate measurements for concentratedsamples with no need for dilutions.
The patented NanoDropsample-retention system measures 1-2 µL of sample in seconds without the needfor cuvettes, making it a cost- and time-effective solution for busy labs.Workflows can be streamlined on the NanoDrop One instrument with theAuto-Measure functionality, while modern connectivity allows results to beshared and archived via Wi-Fi, Ethernet or USB. The NanoDrop OneC instrument containsboth pedestal and cuvette measuring positions, increasing dynamic range andassay flexibility.
