INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION The Genova Bio is a UV/visible spectrophotometer dedicated to life science analysis. This spectrophotometer allows the measurement of DNA concentrations and purity ratios using wavelengths recorded at 260, 280 and 230nm, with an optional correction at 320nm. The results displayed will include the concentration and purity ratios. At the touch of a button the results will switch the display to show the purity scan for that sample. The Genova Bio is pre-programmed with Bradford, Lowry, Biuret, Pierce 660 and BCA methods for protein concentration. Purified proteins can be...
