Description

As a life science spectrophotometer it has preprogrammed
methods for the measurement of
nucleic acid concentrations and protein assays plus
measurement modes for determining the purity
of nucleic acids and optical density (OD) for cell
harvesting.
It is pre-programmed with all the most common
methods for protein analysis including Bradford,
Lowry, Biuret, BCA and Direct UV methods. The
OD measurement mode enables cell growth to be
monitored by measuring absorbance at 600nm, 595nm
or any other user selected wavelength. Performing a
purity scan across the entire wavelength range from
198 to 1000nm displays any distorted peaks which
enables impurities to be easily identified.
This life science spectrophotometer can be used
with any of the accessories of the 73 series, these
include the electronic Peltier for accurate temperature
control, perfect for use in kinetics experiments and
temperature critical reactions, 8 cell automatic turret,
sipper pump and a micro-cuvette holder for more
precious samples, amongst others.
As well as the dedicated life science measurement
modes this instrument can also be used as a standard
spectrophotometer with measurement modes for
photometrics, concentration, multi-wavelength,
spectrum scanning, quantitation and kinetics.
