Product news

GE Healthcare launches the NanoVue™ Plus spectrophotometer for the rapid and accurate quantification of nucleic acids & protein samples . It can measure volumes as low as 0.5μl due to the “drop and measure” sample plate and does not require cuvettes or capillaries.

The NanoVue Plus features the latest sample plate for the NanoVue spectrophotometers. This plate has enhanced compatibility with the wide range of chemicals and sample types used in today’s busy laboratories. The plate is hydrophobic which enables easy sample recovery and cleaning, helping to prevent carry-over between measurements.

The built-in software provides a user-friendly interface, with convenient drop-down lists that include methods for measuring common fluors including the full CyDye™ range. Researchers can also choose from a wide range of storage methods and data output options, such as integrated printer option, Print-Via-Computer software, optional wireless connectivity and new SD card accessory

Recalibration of NanoVue Plus can be done easily in the lab by the scientists themselves.

Other features include:
• Stand-alone instrument with small foot-print and without PC- freeing up valuable bench space
• Wide wavelength range from 200-1100nm – providing the scope for a great range of samples
• 90 user-defined methods can be stored with password protection – ideal for multi-user labs

The new sample plate, SD card reader and latest software can be fitted onto existing NanoVue instruments.

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.

Tools used in proteomics include chromatography, blotting and gels, protein arrays, mass spectrometry and ELISA and associated analysis software. Analyzers and proteomic systems should be sensitive, high resolution, fast and may be automated for high-throughput.Protein PurificationProtein purification is a vital step in drug discovery, therapeutics, biotech and life science research. The purification process typically involves subcellular or membrane protein extraction with cell lysis kits, separation of proteins from cell debris by filtration or spin columns, and the isolation of proteins of interest from other proteins and impurities with affinity purification (including fusion protein tags and antibody binding proteins A, G and L), immunoprecipitation or chromatographic methods, such as ion exchange, size exclusion and immobilized metal affinity chromatography. All purification methods come in multiple formats for your laboratory needs, including agarose or magnetic beads, resins, columns and filter plates.
