BioDrop DUO+ with Printer - Micro-volume Spectrophotometer
BioDrop, Biochrom - BioDrop DUO+
BioDrop DUO+ is the ideal solution for life scientists for whom flexibility of measurement is a key requirement.
Product Overview
BioDrop-DUO+ UV/Vis spectrophotometer has two measurement modes: a unique in-built sample port unrivalled dsDNA detection limit of 1ng/μl PLUS a cuvette holder for the revolutionary BioDrop CUVETTE 125, ideal for highly concentrated samples.
BioDrop-DUO+ is quick and easy to use. It has a large capacitive colour touch screen with on-board software for data acquisition and analysis. Pre-programmed methods for DNA, RNA, oligos and proteins in the on-board software reduce the time from measurement to results. In addition, data generated using the on-board software can be stored internally or transferred using a USB memory stick. Alternatively, both the PC-only and standalone instruments can be controlled using a PC and BioDrop Resolution Software. Users can also choose an optional built-in thermal printer for maximum flexibility.
BioDrop-DUO+ has an in-built sample port with no moving parts. Because the pathlength doesn’t move, the instrument provides excellent reproducibility. Measure-ments are also highly accurate because the pathlength is specified to +/- 5μm.
All in one flexibility!
