Details
GeneQuant 100 is designed to measure the concentration and purity of nucleic acid and protein samples, and the density of bacterial cell cultures at a broad range of sample volumes. It can be used with a variety of cuvettes for sample volumes from 3 µl to 2 ml.
Samples as low as 3 µl can be analysed using a capillary cell system. A wide range of standard cuvettes may be used depending on the sensitivity or volume requirements. The 15 mm optical beam height makes the GeneQuant 100 compatible with low volume quartz and disposable UV- transmitting plastic cuvettes.
Relevant parameters are calculated automatically and displayed at the touch of a button on a large display.
