OVERVIEW
The Implen NanoPhotometer
®
is a mobile, simple to use UV/Visible spectrophotometer with
a CCD array detector with options ranging from NanoVolume to standard cuvette. The
NanoPhotometer
®
family comprises five different models.
There are four single sample models available:
The NP80 spectrophotometer is a combination of NanoVolume and cuvette option, the N60
and N50 are NanoVolume spectrophotometers only and the C40 is a standard cuvette
solution with the option to upgrade to NanoVolume measurements.
The NanoPhotometer
®
N120 is a multi-sample spectrophotometer which can measure up to
12 NanoVolume samples simultaneously.
The NanoPhotometer
®
runs on a Linux-based operating system (NPOS) that is designed for
the use of pre-programmed and custom applications with a high degree of flexibility and
processing power.
Sample Compression Technology
™
provides easy sample handling which is independent of
surface tension. This technology squeezes the sample between two quartz surfaces allowing
for unmatched precision and accuracy without the need for dilutions. Combined with our
True Path Technology
™
the system offers lifetime accuracy and precision without the need
for maintenance or recalibration.
Note: It is recommended to use a properly calibrated pipette with high-quality tips to ensure
delivery of appropriate sample volumes for NanoVolume sample applications.
Sample Control™ is a quality control technology that identifies air bubbles, sample
impurities, turbidity, lint residues and potential contaminations. Sample Control™ monitors
handling characteristics and sample quality in real time to ensure that the measured
concentrations are reproducible and most precise.
Blank Control™ gives a warning message for blanks with high background. High background
absorbance can be caused by a contaminated blank, blank buffer or by residues from
previous users. Insufficient blank readings are the main cause for inaccurate measurements.
Blank Control™ will protect the user from wasting time and precious sample on inaccurate
readings caused by high background blanks or inappropriate cleaning. For more detailed
information see also Technical Note #1 Blank Control™.
