New Biophotometer Plus Adds Up to a Highly Versatile Package
Feb 26 2008
The BioPhotometer plus delivers instant access to 32 routine methods, of which nine are freely programmable, including measurement of DNA, RNA and protein concentration, enzyme assays and the incorporation rate of fluorescent dyes. Designed for use with cuvettes such as the Eppendorf UVette®, optimisation for measurement of small volumes using microliter cells like the Hellma® TrayCell adds considerably to the instrumentâs versatility.
Both measurement and results calculation, including factoring in dilutions, are performed automatically at the push of a button for reliable results. Related methods are grouped for easy selection on the redesigned keypad and differently coloured function keys reduce operator errors.
According to Kerstin Vieluf, Eppendorf product manager, âThe BioPhotometer plus provides all the flexibility needed for a wide range of applications. With three new wavelengths the number of routine methods increases to 32, compared with 12 for the existing BioPhotometer model. Additional methods are the incorporation rate and concentration of fluorescent dyes (Cy 3, Cy5) in nucleic acids or proteins, measurement of enzymatic activities, cell biological assays and direct measurement at single wavelengths.â
The robust metal housing of the BioPhotometer plus makes it ideal for safe transport and easy cleaning, while its small footprint and standalone operation without a PC are benefits where bench
