1. HEALTH AND SAFETY
1.1. Scope
This booklet covers the following ranges of instruments:
• Ultrospec™10celldensitymeter
• Novaspec™IIIandNovaspecPlusVisiblespectrophotometers
• GeneQuant™100&1300UV/Visiblespectrophotometers
• Ultrospec2100/7000/8000/9000 UV/Visible spectrophotometers
• SimpliNano™andNanoVue™Plusmicrovolumespectrophotometer
Translations of these instructions into 22 European languages are available on the
User Manual CD supplied with the instrument and on the internet at GE home page
www.gelifesciences.com
1.2. Intended use
Visible and UV/Visible spectrophotometers shine light through a liquid sample and
measure its Absorbance. This sample is typically held in a cuvette but when sample
volume is limited, instruments such as the SimpliNano or NanoVue Plus can be used
where a 2 µl sample can be pipetted directly onto the measurement area. Typical
applications of spectrophotometers include DNA/RNA/Oligo concentration and purity
measurements as well as protein concentrations.
This manual addresses the needs of scientists and technicians who operate UV/
Visible spectrophotometers. The level of information presented in this manual
assumes the user possesses basic laboratory and technical skills, and has the
knowledge and documentation to safely operate. If you need assistance with the
instructions in this manual, contact GE for more information.
1.3. Safety Notices
These operating instructions contain Warnings and Cautions concerning the products
with meanings as defined below:
