Genova allows standard procedures for DNA purity ratios to be measured at 260/280nm and 260/230nm with correction at a third wavelength.
In all cases standard procedures can be run immediately or a modified version to be set up.
The purity scan gives a clear and graphic display of DNA purity, shifted or distorted peaks that may be affecting results can be identified as can the effects of interferences and contamination.
Five established methods of protein analysis are all pre-programmed.
Standard default settings for the Bradford, Lowry, Biuret, Biccinchonic and Direct UV methods are included which can be operator modified.
The pulsed Xenon lamp used is long lasting, replaceable and gives superior energy levels compared to traditional UV sources.
Optimum performance is ensured by a detailed self diagnostic and calibration check on switch-on.
Wavelength range from 198-1000nm, resolution 1nm, spectral bandwidth 5nm typical @ 270nm, Low photometric noise <0.001A@0A@400nm.
