Quantitation & Spectrum Confirmation BioSpec-nano

Features
Quantitation of Nucleic Acid Using
The BioSpec-nano is ideal for measuring precious biological samples, such as nucleic acids and proteins, as it can measure as little as 1 ~ 2 μL Modification
BioSpec-nano without using a cell (cuvette). Target selection
The measurement is started simply by dropping the sample into the dropping position (target) and pressing the start button. In addition,
click here the automatic wiping function does not require sample wiping after measurement. While maintaining high correlation with standard type
spectrophotometer (Cell Measurement, Double Beam), high reproducibility and measurement accuracy have been achieved. The optical path length
can be selected from 0.2 mm and 0.7 mm depending on the sample concentration. In addition, if the option is purchased, measurement using a cell
• It can be used to measure the concentration of extracted double-stranded with an optical path length of 5 mm (sample volume of 2 mL) is also possible.
DNA and to check the degree of purification. The BioSpec-nano is equipped with a variety of quantification modes, including nucleic acid quantification, protein quantification, OD value display
at specified wavelengths, and can be used in a variety of applications.
benefits • It is possible to measure from a minimum sample capacity of 1 µL.
• It is equipped with an automatic wiping function that achieves low carryover. Unprotected Excision

Quantitative mode : This mode is used to quantify RNA, dsDNA, ssDNA, OligoDNA, etc. and calculate nucleic acid concentration,
OD ratio (OD 260/280, OD 260/230).
Labeled nucleic acid : This mode is used to quantify nucleic acids labeled with Cy3 and others (RNA, dsDNA, ssDNA, OligoDNA) to
quantification calculate nucleic acid concentration, label concentration, nucleotide concentration, and labeling rate.
Conclusions Other
Protein quantification : This mode finds the protein concentration from the absorbance at 280 nm. In addition, it is possible to
determine the label concentration and labeling rate for labeled proteins as well as nucleic acids.
Bipspec-nano enables nucleic acid quantification with excellent photometric linearity, reproducibility, and accuracy at optical path lengths of 0.2 mm
and 0.7 mm with sample volumes of 1 ~ 2 μL, respectively. OD display : This mode displays the OD value for any specified wavelength, up to a maximum of 8 wavelengths.
