DeNovix Inc., a developer and manufacturer of life science instrumentation for bio-research announces the launch of the DS-C Cuvette Spectrophotometer. The DeNovix DS-C Cuvette Spectrophotometer extends the DS-11 FX Spectrophotometer / Fluorometer Series and leverages the company’s highly rated operating software and hardware. The DS-C is a stand-alone instrument engineered for rapid and accurate UV-Vis analysis across a wide range of applications and industries.

Like other DeNovix instruments, the DS-C includes DeNovix’ custom Android™ operating software, Wi-Fi / Ethernet network connectivity and a glove-compatible HD touch screen. Each instrument is calibrated for life, maintenance free and backed by an industry-leading three-year factory warranty.

The DS-C features built-in EasyApps® for full spectrum UV-Vis measurements, nucleic acid and protein quantification, kinetic studies and microbial cell quantification. An intuitive interface helps users quickly create custom methods that may be defined and saved in password-protected accounts. Results are automatically stored and easily exported to e-mail, USB, network folders, network printers, LIMS, USB drives and label printers. IQ/OQ documentation and performance verification software is available to help achieve compliance in GLP/GMP environments.

DeNovix Business Director Kevin Kelley stated, “Since the release of our DS-11 Spectrophotometer in 2013, we’ve had requests from researchers whose applications were a better fit for more traditional cuvette instruments. Our focus at DeNovix has been on our microvolume platform and achieving the best ease-of-use, lowest detection limits and broadest dynamic range for that class of instruments. We’re pleased that we reached that goal in 2016. This was the right time to launch a DeNovix cuvette-based instrument and take advantage of our software, hardware and know-how.”

DS-C owners can connect an optional DeNovix FX Fluorometer Module to any instrument. The FX Module is an affordable USB-connected accessory that allows researchers to measure picogram quantities of assayed samples with increased specificity. When used with DeNovix dsDNA Fluorescence assays, researches may quantify 1 – 20 uL samples over a dynamic range of 0.5 pg/uL – 4000 ng/uL dsDNA.

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.DNA / RNA Extraction and PurificationPurified DNA and RNA are required for numerous downstream molecular biology applications. 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.

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.
