BASICS
The NanoPhotometer
®
product line offers a complete solution for NanoVolume
(N120/NP80/N60/N50/C40) and standard cuvette (C40/NP80) applications. The
NanoPhotometer
®
N120 is a multi-sample model that can measure up to 12 samples per
run. The multi-channel option is available in Nucleic Acid, Protein UV, Protein Assay and
Wavescan method.
NanoVolume applications start with a minimum sample volume of 0.3 μl (NP80/N60/N50)
and 2 µl for the NanoPhotometer
®
N120. Standard cuvette applications can be performed
with 10 mm, 5 mm, 2 mm, 1 mm and 0.5 mm path length quartz, glass, or plastic cuvettes
with a center height of 8.5 mm.
