Overview

The NanoDrop^® ND-8000 Spectrophotometer can be used to simultaneously measure the concentrations of proteins (A280) and up to two fluorescent dyes. In addition to measuring both components of a protein-dye conjugate, the versatile Proteins and Labels module can also be used to measure the purity of metalloproteins (such as hemoglobin) using wavelength ratios.

• Six different reference types available : 1 abs=1mg/ml, BSA, IgG, Lysozyme, user entered mass extinction coefficient, user entered molar extinction coefficient
• Measurement of wide variety of fluorescent dyes possible: Cy3, Cy5, Cy3.5, Cy5.5, Alexas 488, 546, 555, 594, 647 and 660
• Concentration of protein and dye calculated and displayed
• Reblank feature allows for the re-analysis of previous set of samples with a new blank
• Full spectrum data is automatically archived in a text delimited file on the controller PC and easily reviewed using the Data Viewer feature
• Sample or plate ID can be preloaded by using a barcode reader or importing from a file
• Absorbance is represented as a 10mm path equivalent
