Quickly and easily assess sample concentration and purity ratios with the Thermo Scientific™ NanoDrop™ Lite Plus Microvolume Spectrophotometer, the entry-level complement to the full-featured Thermo Scientific™ NanoDrop™ One/OneC and NanoDrop™ Eight Spectrophotometers. While offering fewer features than our premium models, this instrument delivers fast, accurate measurements in an easy-to-use, affordable package.

The NanoDrop Lite Plus Spectrophotometer is a valuable teaching tool and is ideal for quality check measurements in busy research labs as well. Measure purified DNA, RNA, and protein concentration up to 30 Abs and calculate critical A260/A280 and A260/A230 purity ratios using trusted NanoDrop technology.

The NanoDrop Lite Plus Spectrophotometer is designed for routine measurements of nucleic acid and protein samples using only 1–2 μL. Our pioneering sample-retention technology eliminates the need to dilute highly concentrated samples, making measurements easy. Simply pipette your sample directly onto the optical measurement pedestal, measure, and wipe clean with a lint-free wipe. Its compact design, with built-in controls and software, means the NanoDrop Lite Plus Spectrophotometer takes up little space on your benchtop.

With an intuitive user interface and modern industrial design, the NanoDrop Lite Plus Spectrophotometer is the instrument of choice for basic microvolume measurements. Even if budgets are tight, your lab can have a NanoDrop, too.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

After servicing NanoDrop instruments, do you provide a service report listing the repairs made to the instrument?

A report is shipped back with each NanoDrop instrument listing the services that were performed and any parts that were replaced. We also provide you with an Instrument Certification Sheet which shows that the instrument passed recalibration and recertification.

Do you provide “as found” and “after service” data for servicing of NanoDrop instruments?

If you specifically request “as found” and “after service” data when setting up the NanoDrop instrument service, we can provide results of a Performance Verification before and after the servicing.

Will you send me a shipping label or can I use my own shipping provider to send in a NanoDrop instrument for servicing?

Upon receipt of confirmation of payment method, we will provide you a FedEx return shipping label and shipping instructions. Alternatively, we will waive the shipping cost if you decide to use your own carrier.

Do I need a special shipping box for my NanoDrop instrument to send for servicing? If so, would you supply the shipping box and what is the cost?

The NanoDrop 2000/2000c, NanoDrop 8000, NanoDrop Eight, NanoDrop Lite, NanoDrop Lite Plus, and NanoDrop One/OneC instruments all need to be shipped in their original shipping box and packing foam. If you do not have those materials, we will send you a box and packing foam at no cost. The NanoDrop 3300 instrument can be shipped in any box you may have available.

Does the NanoDrop instrument service cost include part replacements?

The cost for NanoDrop instrument service does not include any parts. If a part replacement is needed, we will contact you to obtain your authorization to replace the part.
