DropSense96

The Trinean DropSense96® is a new multi-channel spectrophotometer for quick and precise UV-VIS spectral analysis of microliter droplets of DNA/RNA, protein or small compounds. This spectrophotometer has the characteristics of a plate reader, but uses dedicated DropPlate16/96 chips with 0,5-2,5 µl samples.

The unique features of the DropSense96 are

  • UV-VIS absorption spectrometry
  • Full spectrum analysis of 96 samples in less than 4 minutes
  • Compatible with both DropPlate16/96 and classic 96well microplates
  • Predefined protocols for DNA, RNA and protein concentratrion measurements
  • User friendly software on remote PC

technology

Spectroscopy
UV/VIS spectroscopy is an optical technique allowing measuring the absorption or fluorescent properties of samples. This gives information such as concentration of substances in a sample. When a full spectrum is measured, more advanced analysis techniques can be used, such as multiplex sensing of various labelled substances in one sample.
Trinean developed a patent protected, compact multi-channel spectrophotometer that combines a simplified optical setup with important advantages in terms of throughput, sensitivity and stability. The DropSense96® is able to measure the full UV/VIS spectrum of multiple samples simultaneously. It allows measuring the absorption properties of samples and gives information on the concentration levels of substances in a sample, e.g. nucleic acids, proteins or chemical compound absorbance and concentration (µg/µl and pmol/µl).
Differential measurements are straightforwardly implemented with this module, which compensates for secondary effects such as drifts and temperature. This results in higher accuracy.


Unique patent pending optical spectrometer design combining cylindrical lenses with integrated optical elements, high resolution gratings and ultra-sensitive photodiode array
