Implen is a leading supplier for innovative spectroscopy instruments and consumables for the non-destructive analysis of ultra-low volume liquid samples. The Implen NanoPhotometer® family provides the best class products in microvolume and cuvette UV/VIS spectroscopy that offer unmatched performance to its users supporting the work flows in modern research.
NanoPhotometer® Family
Microvolume and Cuvette UV/VIS Spectroscopy
- Accurate and Reliable Measurements in 0.3 µl
Due to the Sample Compression Technology™ the sample drop is formed to a stable capillary film between two quartz surfaces. This guarantees accurate and reliable results for standard samples as nucleic acids and proteins as well as for challenging samples like volatile solvents or samples with low surface tension. - Recalibration Free
The unique True Path Technology™ guarantees precise path lengths setting due to two fixed anchor points. No drift over lifetime. - Reconditioning Free
Durable, inert and metal free surfaces provide easy to clean, scratch resistant surfaces with no need for reconditioning. - Applications
Nucleic Acids, Protein UV, Protein Assays, Kinetics, OD600, Wavelength, Wavescan, Absorbance/Ratio, Concentration and Customized Apps - No Evaporation
Protected microenvironment reduces evaporation to a minimum during the measurement. Allows reliable measurements for challenging samples like low surface tension protein samples or samples in volatile solvents. - Confidence with Blank
The automatic Blank Control™ protects the user from wasting time and precocious sample on inaccurate readings caused by high background blanks or inappropriate cleaning. - Printing
The NanoPhotometer® supports Dymo and HP printers which are connected via USB cable to the NanoPhotometer®. - Flexible Unit Control
via optional touchscreen, computer, tablet or smart phone - Battery Powered
Up to 8 hours battery operation
Technology Made in Germany
