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

For 25 years, Thermo Scientific™ NanoDrop™ instruments have helped scientists quantify and qualify DNA, RNA, and protein using microvolume samples. As the inventor of microvolume UV-Vis technology, NanoDrop combines proven performance with a legacy reflected in more than 55,000 scientific citations.

 

Measure what matters: Quantify DNA and RNA concentration and purity, measure protein concentration, and perform routine sample quality checks.

 

Conserve precious samples: Analyze as little as ~1–2 µL with no cuvettes required, helping minimize sample consumption and simplify workflows.

 

Support downstream workflows: Assess samples used in molecular biology applications such as PCR, RT-qPCR, and sequencing.

 

Choose the capabilities you need: Access options for microvolume UV-Vis, fluorescence, multi-sample analysis, and sample intelligence across the NanoDrop portfolio.

 

From routine measurements to more advanced analytical needs, the NanoDrop portfolio offers solutions for research, quality control, and teaching laboratories.

 

The NanoDrop spectrophotometer models and their key benefits

  • NanoDrop Ultra: Best for advanced applications and highest confidence in single-sample measurements; can also perform fluorimetry measurements
  • NanoDrop Eight: High throughput—measures 8 samples at once
  • NanoDrop Lite Plus: Compact, easy option for routine measurements

The NanoDrop Ultra expands our capabilities

The NanoDrop line has been innovating for 25 years and with our latest instrument we bring the capabilities of fluorescence into one package. All while continuing to quickly quantify nucleic acids and proteins, and assess purity from just ~1–2 µL.
