Life Science Analyzer: BioMate™ 3S Spectrophotometer Thermo Scientific™

Evolution™ 260 Bio UV-Visible Spectrophotometer Thermo Scientific™
Advance your research with reliable, absorbance results from the Thermo Scientific™ Evolution™ 260 Bio UV-Vis spectrophotometer, designed for the changing field of life science. With the choice of tablet or computer control, the Evolution 260 Bio spectrophotometer offers high-performance measurements for a variety of biological samples and measurements. Powerful software, precision optics, and an extensive line of accessories combine for a complete solution to move you from samples to answers faster. Thermo Scientific™ INSIGHT™ software, included with the Evolution 260 Bio system, offers pre-programmed assay methods for increased accuracy and convenience.

NanoDrop™ One Spectrophotometer with WiFi & Qubit™ 4 Fluorometer Invitrogen™
As a bundled offering, the NanoDrop One Microvolume UV-Vis Spectrophotometer and the Qubit 4 Fluorometer together allow you to obtain the most complete information about the concentration and quality of your DNA, RNA or protein samples—helping to prevent costly troubleshooting downstream. While both the NanoDrop One spectrophotometer and the Qubit 4 fluorometer offer accurate measurements of DNA, RNA and protein samples, each also has its unique advantages.
NanoDrop One Spectrophotometer
Cited in more than 30,000 publications, the NanoDrop UV-Vis microvolume spectrophotometers have fundamentally changed the way scientists evaluate nucleic acid and protein samples by minimizing the need for large sample volumes.
The next generation NanoDrop One Microvolume UV-Vis Spectrophotometer utilizes innovative Thermo Scientific Acclaro™ Sample Intelligence technology that identifies contaminants, provides corrected concentration values and helps you understand the quality of your sample before you use it in downstream applications.
Qubit 4 Fluorometer
The Qubit 4 Fluorometer is a cutting-edge benchtop device that accurately measures DNA, RNA, and protein quantity, and now also RNA integrity and quality, using the highly sensitive Qubit assays.
For all Qubit assays, the concentration or quality of the target molecule in the sample is reported by a fluorescent dye that emits a signal only when bound to the target, which minimizes the effects of contaminants on the result. The easy-to-use touchscreen menus make it easy to select and run the assays you need, with results displayed in just a few seconds.
Comparison of the NanoDrop One spectrophotometer and Qubit 4 Fluorometer
NanoDrop One Spectrophotometer |
| Qubit 4 Fluorometer |
Fast and simple. Allows for direct measurement of purified samples with no dilutions required. | Overview | Sensitive and specific. Accurately measures concentration whether dsDNA, ssDNA, total RNA, microRNA or protein— even in the presence of contaminants. |
UV absorbance | Technology | Fluorescence |
Pipette sample onto pedestal; measure. | Workflow | Mix sample with reagents, incubate for 2–5 minutes, read. |
Routine quantitation and qualification of DNA, RNA and proteins | Applications | Routine samples and with very dilute or difficult to process samples, when higher measurement sensitivity is required or when nucleic acid contaminants are suspected (e.g., DNA in RNA, dNTPs) |
0.21–27,500 | dsDNA quantitation range (ng/ul) | 0.01–1,000 |
Acclaro Sample Intelligence technology identifies presence of contaminants such as protein or guanidine; provides corrected analyte concentration value. | Sample qualification (purity) | Unique fluorescent dyes enable differentiation between nucleic acid types (e.g., DNA vs. RNA) without any sample pre-treatment. |
Selection of pre-programmed applications
| Protein Quantitation | Qubit assays exhibit minimal protein-to-protein variability and are resistant to most contaminants, including salts, reducing agents (e.g., DTT, b-mercaoptoethanol), DNA or amino acids, but not detergents. |
