Key Features:
• Simultaneous measurement of eight samples in under 20 seconds for high throughput.
• Acclaro Sample Intelligence software enables contaminant detection, corrected concentration calculations, and DNA vs RNA differentiation.
• High dynamic range enabling measurement of very concentrated samples without dilution (up to 10 000 ng/µL dsDNA or 145 mg/mL IgG).
• Microvolume capability (1‑2 µL) conserves precious sample.
• Ergonomic, ambidextrous pipetting design to support left‑ and right‑handed users.
• Compatibility with LIMS and automated data export for seamless workflow.
Application: Ideal for rapid quantification and purity assessment of nucleic acids and proteins in high‑throughput academic, biotech or pharma research labs.
