 can be determined easily with a single glance. The Biomethod mode
 includes six types of built-in measurement conditions: 1. Nucleic acid
 quantitation, 2. Lowry method, 3. BCA method, 4. CBB (Bradford
 method), 5. Biuret method, and 6. UV method. These methods can
 be used to measure samples easily for given analytical objectives. The
 operation panel screenshot function can be used to easily extract
 measurement results without connecting to a computer. A 10 mm
 square cell requires a sample volume of approx. 4 mL, but the use of
 a TrayCell or Nano Stick cell enables measurement of micro sample   Fig. 1   TrayCell

 Double-Stranded DNA Measurement Method Using a TrayCell
 Double-stranded DNA was prepared to create 27.5, 55, 110, 220, and
 440 ng/μL standard samples (diluted with ultrapure water). Actual   1. Place the sample at the center of

 the TrayCell, the optical path length can be changed to either 1.0 mm
 or 0.2 mm by switching between two types of caps. In this example,
 a cap with a 1.0 mm optical path length was used to measure 4 μL of
 dripped sample based on the conditions listed in Table 1 (Fig. 1).                                                Characterization
