Micro Volume Spectrophotometer (Nano)
Introduction
A Micro Volume Spectrophotometer (Nano) enables highly accurate UV-Vis measurements from ultra-small samples (≈0.5–2 µL) without cuvettes. It preserves precious DNA, RNA, and protein materials while speeding up quantification and purity checks in modern life-science workflows.
What Is a Micro Volume Spectrophotometer?
A microvolume (nano) spectrophotometer is a compact UV-Vis instrument that measures absorbance directly from a small drop placed on an optical pedestal. Light traverses a controlled micro-pathlength, absorbance is captured across ~190–850 nm, and concentration is computed via Beer–Lambert Law—ideal for nucleic acid and protein quantification without cuvettes.
