Explaining How Sample Compression Technology™ Provides Optimized Precision and Accuracy

16 Jul 2017

The Sample Compression Technology™ of the NanoPhotometer® NP80/N60/N50 is key to obtain reliable and accurate readings from ultra-low volume samples. This technical notes explains how the contained microenvironment geometry optimizes the instrument for reliable performance in all climate zones and also is ideal for challenging studies like low surface tension proteins, volatile solvents or kinetics in a microvolume drop.

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.

Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.PharmacokineticsVolatilesVolatiles are a group of compounds that have a low boiling point and evaporate at room temperature. Volatiles, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), can be used to determine shelf-life of food samples. GC-MS is typically used to analyze volatiles.Protein BiologyProtein Quantification
