UV spectrophotometer Biowave 3+

for life sciences applicationsfor nucleic acid quantificationfor cell culture

Fast and easy to use wavelength scanning, kinetics, single or multiple wavelength reading, standard curve and absorbance ratio capability Pre-loaded Life Science Methods: Nucleic Acid quantification Protein applications (Bradford, Lowry, Biuret, BSA) Nucleic Acid and Protein fluorescent dyes OD 600 Microbial growth Tm calculation Lightweight and stackable for easy storage 2 year warranty Description The Biowave 3+ Colour Touch offers all the benefits and capabilities of a research grade Life Science spectrophotometer with the robust design, ease of use and reasonable cost that also makes it perfect for students. Built in Life Science methods Pre-programmed methodologies for nucleic acid quantification (DNA, RNA and oligonucleotides), protein assays (BCA, Biuret, Bradford and Lowry) and for cell culture density (OD600) measurements. The visualisation of the nucleic acid scan is particularly useful, especially for RNA samples where impurities may be present in the 230 nm region,. yet not have an adverse effect on the A260/A280 ratio. The system is compatible with low volume UV cuvettes. For those samples that need the most precise results, the Biowave 3+ CT also comes loaded with a menu of commonly available fluorescent dyes to specifically target nucleic acids and proteins. In kinetics mode, the basic plot of absorbance against time may be supplemented with the result for A/min, plus the correlation coefficient is also calculated for the duration of the assay. This slope may be multiplied automatically by a factor to convert it directly to rate of reaction.
