Introduction
UV-Visible spectrophotometers are a ubiquitous tool in
the life sciences because of the wide range of
molecules that can be detected and analyzed using
this technique. Like many other everyday items, it’s
easy to forget how long you have had your
spectrophotometer and you might not think about its
performance or capabilities until you need to replace
it. Questions to consider include:
•What applications are routinely run in your
laboratory? Could this change in the near future?
•What range of sample volumes do you need to
measure? If this varies, look for options for different
cuvette sizes and adaptors
•Do you want to measure multiple samples at the same
time? If so, consider options for multiple cell holders
•What level of sensitivity do you need? For low
concentration samples, a wider bandwidth
(3 to 5 nm) will give more consistent results
than a narrow (1 nm) bandwidth instrument
•How many users will there be and what level of
experience will they have? Preprogrammed methods
and password control of your own methods can be
useful features
•How will data be recorded, output or stored?
This guide is an introduction to the range of
spectrophotometers available from GE Healthcare
Life Sciences.
Whether you are performing simple colorimetric assays
or conducting the most stringent research, there is an
instrument from our range to meet your needs.
Low sample volumes
NanoVue Plus, with dual pathlengths, offers both
convenience and a wide dynamic range for life science
applications for volumes 0.5 to 5.0 µl. SimpliNano fixed
pathlength spectrophotometer offers superb accuracy
for nucleic acid and protein A280 measurements, as low
as 1 µl. The ability to pipette samples directly onto the
sample plate (NanoVue Plus) or port (SimpliNano)
eliminates the need for cuvettes or other sample devices.
Routine applications
GE Healthcare offers a number of spectrophotometers
for widely used applications such as DNA and RNA
quantitation, protein concentration determination, and
cell density measurements. This includes Ultrospec™
10, a battery-operated, portable, cell density meter;
Novaspec III and Plus for protein determination and/or
enzyme kinetics; and GeneQuant 100 and 1300
instruments.
Additional features
For more advanced features, Ultrospec 2100 offers
temperature control and cell changer options, while
the Ultrospec 8000 and 9000 are high performance,
dual-beam instruments, for precision measurements
that are compatible with Pharmacopoeia guidelines.
Data output
Many GE Healthcare spectrophotometers have a
variety of data output capabilities. These include
integrated printer, USB cable to PC, USB stick or
Bluetooth™ wireless options.
