BioDrop µLITE+ Micro-volume Spectrophotometer
BioDrop, Biochrom - BioDrop µLITE+
BioDrop µLITE+ is the best choice for life scientists for whom speed and accuracy in micro-volume measurements are required rather than broad measurement range.
Product Overview
BioDrop-µLITE+ is the only choice for micro-volume measurement when you need speed without sacrificing accuracy or precision. With no moving parts, the unique in-built sample port offers unrivalled performance delivering a dsDNA detection limit of 1ng/μL. Because the pathlength doesn’t change, the instrument provides excellent measurement reproducibility. Measurements made with the BioDrop µLITE are also highly accurate because the pathlength is specified to +/- 5µm
BioDrop-µLITE+ has a large capacitive colour touchscreen 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-µLITE+ has an in-built sample port that is easy to use: simply pipette 0.5μL or more in the centre and measure. Cleaning the port is easy; simply wipe with a lint-free tissue and the μLITE is ready to make the next measurement.
