The Thermo Scientific NanoDrop 8000 is a full-spectrum UV-Vis spectrophotometer used to quantify nucleic acids, proteins, fluorescent dyes and other compounds. Revolutionary technology allows quick, easy analysis of sample volumes as small as 1 µl. Process up to eight samples at a time.
The NanoDrop 8000 8-sample UV-Vis Spectrophotometer measures 1-µl samples, up to 8 at a time. Like the popular NanoDrop 1000, the NanoDrop 8000 utilizes a patented sample retention system that eliminates the need for cuvettes and capillaries and allows for a complete measurement cycle (analyses of 8 samples and cleaning) in 20 seconds or less. In addition, the high absorbance capability eliminates the need for dilutions in most cases. For loading 8 samples simultaneously, an 8 channel pipette is required.
The NanoDrop 8000 offers many benefits:
Small samples: designed for 1 ul samples
Can measure a single sample or up to 8 samples in one measurement cycle.
Allows user to measure a full 96 well plate in about 6 minutes.
Large dynamic range: measures 2-3700 ng/ul (dsDNA) on a single sample. No need to change out cuvettes or caps.
High absorbance capability: 50 times that of traditional spectrophotometers
