FastGene® Photometers NanoView (FG-NP02) and NanoSpec (FG-NP01) are microvolume photometers for easy and reliable biomolecule (nucleic acids and proteins) analysis.
POWERFUL • CONVENIENT • RELIABLE • COST-SAVING
Both photometers include
- a microvolume reader (1-2 µL)
- cuvette holder
- glove-compatible touchscreen
- convenient user interface
FastGene® NanoSpec
Spectrophotometer with a full spectrum Xenon flash lamp
- Microvolume drop reader: measurement at 190-850 nm
- Cuvette reader: measurement at 190-850 nm
- Typical applications:
- nucleic acid analysis (dsDNA, ssDNA, RNA)
- colorimetric protein analysis (BCA, Bradford, Lowry)
- cell density (OD600)
- kinetic tests, etc.
The FastGene® NanoView
Photometer with LEDs measuring at three different wavelengths.
- Microvolume reader: measurement at 260 nm, 280 nm
- Cuvette reader: measurement at 600 nm
- Typical applications:
- nucleic acid analysis (dsDNA, ssDNA, RNA)
- analysis of protein concentrations depending on absorption at 260 nm or 280 nm (BSA, IgG)
- cell density (OD600)
