Eppendorf has extended its family of detection instruments with the addition of a new BioSpectrometer family (basic, kinetic, fluorescence), and the new BioPhotometer D30. The new instruments offer additional measurement capabilities and features to the wide range of Eppendorf´s easy-to-use equipment that combine effective hardware with powerful and innovative software solutions.


This flexibility gained with these new devices is not only suitable for life science research, but also for food and beverage testing parameters.

The detection instrument portfolio of Eppendorf is supported by accessories and consumables, such as the UVette®, a UV-transparent disposable cuvette, and the new semi-micro and macro Vis Cuvettes. Additional accessories that include reference filter sets and a microvolume measurement cell, the μCuvette G1.0, to measure sample volumes of only 1.5μL, are available.

“Eppendorf continues a longstanding tradition with over 60 years of experience in the field of photometry.” said Dr. Tanja Musiol, Global Product Manager Detection at Eppendorf AG. “From the very beginning, the focus was on obtaining maximum benefits while using the simplest handling methods. This philosophy has remained unchanged to this day. From fluorescence-based applications to microvolume measurements: anything is possible!”

UV-Visible SpectroscopyUltraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometers are used to measure the interaction of UV and visible light with a sample, including transmission, reflectance & absorbance. The two major instrument classes are single-beam or double-beam spectrophotometers. More specialized equipment includes colorimeters, spectroradiometers and refractometers. Portable and microvolume spectrophotometers are also available. For the modular spectroscopy lab, explore a range of light sources for combination with a spectrograph/spectrometer and optics.

Typical instrumentation includes blanchers, color sorters, cookers, grinders, and refrigeration. These are used to replicate the processes commonly used in the commercial preparation of food and beverages.Food TestingFood testing refers to a variety experiments including PCR, mass spectrometry, processing, QuEChERS, analyzing and Kjeldahl.Food FraudFood adulteration refers to food when it has been has been altered unlawfully with the addition of another lower commodity food product to increase quantity. The 2013 European horsemeat scandal saw the adulteration of beef products with the addition of horse meat.
