Contaminant Analysis
For the dsDNA, RNA and Protein A280 applications, the NanoDrop One software
automatically initiates a spectral analysis for several known contaminants during the
measurement. Examples of known contaminants include:
• for dsDNA and RNA measurements:
– in the analysis region: protein and phenol
– also detects presence of guanidine HCl and guanidinium isothiocyanate
• for protein measurements:
– in the analysis region: nucleic acids and phenol
If contaminants are identified in a sample, the “Contaminant Analysis” icon appears to
the left of the measurement results.
Tap the icon to view the contaminant analysis and associated information.
