The NanoPhotometer™
UV/Vis spectrophotometer

Complete solution for ultra low and standard volume applications

 

The NanoPhotometer™ is designed to provide the utmost flexibility in photometry.

The outstanding technology combines ultra low and standard volume applications for improved concentration measurement and estimation of purity in one UV/Vis spectrophotometer. The fully developed software enables more user comfort with the established methods and assists with the predefined Functions self-programming to meet future needs. Various photometric functions, e.g. single and multi wavelength measurement combined with kinetic methods, opens up a wide range applications. The full wavelength scan (190 nm - 1100 nm) allows curve interpretation for attainment of more detailed scientific knowledge over whole spectrum.

Analysis without cuvettes  
The sample (0.7 to 10 µl) is pipetted directly onto the active measurement window
Closing of the lid.
Taking the measurement. After the measurement the sample can be retrieved and stored for later use.
Cleaning of the measurement window is easily performed with a fluff free tip or Kimwipe – no cross contamination, no dilution errors, no carry over effects
Removing of sample residues from the lid mirror with a fluff free tip or Kimwipe. The photometer is ready for the next sample.
   
Advanced Technology  
The NanoPhotometer™ spectrophotometer is a simple-to-use UV/Visible instrument. It is the perfect composition in highest quality to cover all photometric applications in molecular biology, biochemistry, and microbiology.
The CCD array detector (1024 pixels) and the pulsed xenon lamp guarantee most accurate measurements. The spectrophotometer has no moving parts, which is the basis of the rapid scanning operating system within the range from 190 nm and 1100 nm.
The high performance instrument operates with wavelength reproducibility (± 1 nm) and accuracy (± 2 nm) at a spectral bandwidth of 5 nm. Within the photometric range of - 0.3 to 2.5Absorbance, respectively 0 to 199%T, the NanoPhotometerTM performs with highest linearity and reproducibility.
The back-lit liquid crystal display is very easy to navigate with the alphanumeric entry and navigation arrow keys on the hard wearing, spill proof membrane keypad
After switching on the instrument will perform a series of self-diagnostic checks for wavelength calibrations.

Planview of the NanoPhotometer Function

The sample is pipetted onto the centre of the measuring window. Due to the integrated beam deflexion and the use of fibre-optic light conductors the sample can be measured directly on the measurement window. Using one of the four available lids of the microliter cell (lid 10, lid 50 and optional lid 5 or lid 100) different liquid columns of defined pathlength are created. Virtual dilutions of up to 1/100 are generated in comparison to a standard 1 cm cuvette measurement, without a manual dilution of the sample. Dilution errors are avoided and the sample can be retrieved after the measurement.
