NanoDrop ND-1000
The NanoDrop ND-1000 is a full-spectrum (220 - 750nm) spectrophotometer that measures 1ul samples without the use of cuvettes or the need for dilution.
Applications
- Concentration and purity measurements of nucleic acids (DNA, RNA, oligos, PCR product, and hybridization probes). With a lower detection limit of about 2ng/ul (dsDNA) but has shown to be variable at lower concentrations.
- Measures nucleic acid probe and dye concentrations to help determine microarray labeling efficiency (Cy3, Cy5, and Alexaflour dyes)
- Concentration and purity measurements of labeled and unlabeled proteins (Bradford, BCA, and Lowry assays). With a lower detection limit of about 0.1mg/ml(BSA).
- Can perform full-spectrum UV/Vis spectrophotometry (220nm - 750nm)
- Can determine cell density of microbial cultures in suspension
