Simple, rapid, accurate quantification and qualification of DNA, RNA, and protein

Quickly quantify DNA, RNA, and protein from only 1–2 µL of sample with Thermo Scientific NanoDrop Spectrophotometers. Our pioneering sample-retention technology has evolved across the full spectrum to bring you more knowledge about your sample, so that you can save days of troubleshooting and accelerate your research.

 

Simply pipet a single drop of your DNA, RNA, or protein sample on the pedestal and pull down the arm. No cuvettes or capillaries are needed and the results appear in seconds. Over the years, NanoDrop spectrophotometers have become trusted and indispensible in many labs, accumulating over 55,000 scientific citations.

NanoDrop Microvolume Spectrophotometer capabilities

Advanced sample intelligence

With full-spectrum analysis, Acclaro Sample Intelligence software uses advanced chemometric algorithms to identify and correct for contaminants and differentiate DNA from RNA.

Regulatory compliance support

Optional security tools for selected NanoDrop microvolume spectrophotometers help your lab stay compliant with federal data regulations.
