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)

How do I obtain service for my NanoDrop Lite Plus?

For service in the United States and Canada, please call 877-724-7690 option 3 or email nanodrop@thermofisher.com.
For international service, please contact your local NanoDrop distributor.

Does the NanoDrop Lite Plus come with 21 CFR Part 11 compliance software?

No. It does not align with 21 CFR Part 11. If this is needed, please reach out to us about the NanoDrop Ultra family.

What verification standards should I use with NanoDrop Lite Plus?

Use the NanoDrop PV-1 Performance Verification solution with the instrument’s verification routine (see manual).

How do I clean and maintain the pedestal with NanoDrop Lite Plus?

The NanoDrop Lite Plus user guide has step-by-step cleaning, decontamination, and reconditioning procedures; use lint-free wipes and follow the recommended solvents and safety steps.

What analyses does the NanoDrop Lite Plus provide?

It provides concentration measurements for DNA, RNA, and purified proteins at 230 nm, 260 nm, and 280 nm, plus A260/A280 and A260/A230 purity ratios for QC checks. This instrument does not provide full spectral data, nor does it include Acclaro Sample Intelligence.
