Product news

Implen GmbH today is announcing the successful accreditation of the NanoPhotometer™ at Dr. Horst-Schmidt-Kliniken (Dr. Horst Schmidt Hospitals) in Wiesbaden, Germany according to the European series of standards for medical laboratories DIN EN ISO 15189. The NanoPhotometer™ accomplished all requirements in the context of the accreditation process at the Institute of Pathology and Cytology. The accreditation has been carried out by DAP German Accreditation System for Testing, Berlin, Germany.

The NanoPhotometer™ therefore is applicable to achieve the reliable spectrophotometrical analysis of very small volume nucleic acid and protein samples (starting with 0.7 µl) in laboratories with GMP requirements or accredited facilities. Aside from the small volume applications the system can be utilzed for the analysis of standard volume samples (like kinetics) in standard quartz or plastic cuvettes.

Implen is a leading supplier of instruments and consumables for submicroliter applications and system solutions for microarray based hybridizations and incubations. Implen is manufacturer of the NanoPhotometer™, the LabelGuard™ Microliter Cell and the DiluCell™ and is exclusive distribution partner of Olympus Life Science Research Europe GmbH, Munich, Germany for SlideBooster™ Hybridization Stations and AdvaWash™ Universal Slide Washing Stations for Germany, Austria and Switzerland, the UK and Ireland.

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.

Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins.

Consequently, the importance of high-quality DNA/RNA extraction and purification equipment cannot be underestimated. Many purification kits are available and are typically optimized for nucleic acid type and source, including plasmid DNA, genomic DNA, mRNA, RNA and viral nucleic acid purification kits. Automated extraction and purification of nucleic acids can be implemented with magnetic bead separator instruments or high-throughput purification workstations.
