Description
The Thermo Scientific Nanodrop 2000c UV-Vis Spectrophotometer measures 0.5- 2 ul samples with high accuracy and reproducibility. The NanoDrop 2000c model offers the convenience of both the NanoDrop patented sample retention technology and a traditional cuvette for sample measurements.
The sample retention system employs surface tension to hold the sample in place between two optical fibers. This enables the measurement of very highly concentrated samples without the need for dilutions. Using this technology, the full spectrum (190 – 840 nm) NanoDrop 2000/2000c Spectrophotometers have the capability to measure sample concentration up to 200 times more concentrated than samples measured using the standard cuvette.
