Thermo Scientific BioMate 3 Spectrophotometer is Designed for performance and reliability and offers pre-programmed assay methods for nucleic acid and protein concentration as well as cell culture measurements
The instruments feature the unique SmartStartTM screen that lets you select one, two or more pre-selected protocols. Turn on the instrument and the boot-up screen shows the selected tests ™ without additional scrolling.
DNA ratio and concentration, with or without scanning
- Protein standard curves for Bradford, Lowry, BCA and Biuret reagents
- Direct UV concentrations of dsDNA, ssDNA, RNA and oligonucleotides
- Warburg-Christian method for measuring protein concentration
- Cell growth
- Oligo calculations for absorptivity, concentration factor, theoretical Tm values from a user-entered base sequence
Hardware Designed for Performance
- Improved, 1.8nm spectral bandwidth is compliant with worldwide Pharmacopeia requirements, allowing research quality measurements with routine simplicity
- Patented optical design provides a compact, high-performance dual-beam system with very few moving parts
- Xenon lamp gives balanced light over the full instrument wavelength range of 190 to 1100nm
- Dual-beam optical system includes an internal reference detector and offers significant advantages over a single beam or diode array instruments, including compensation for lamp intensity changes, better performance for kinetics, and better long-term stability
DNA/RNA and protein analyzer
- High quality optics that include a long-life xenon lamp for stability and drift-free readings. No warm-up time required!
- A large 3.5™ x 2.5™ LCD displays current sample position, date and time, test parameters, graphs and data
- Models with 6-position cell changer for faster sample throughput
- Optional 3™ 40-column printer shows all parameters, graphs and data
- Includes seven additional test protocols including absorbance ratio, kinetics and survey scan
- Optional ultra-microcells with 40µL and 10µL chamber volume
- Sipper system for faster sample throughput
Pre-programmed life science assays include:
- Nucleic acid ratio and concentration (260/280 and 260/230)
- Direct protein concentration at 280nm and 205nm
- Coomassie*/Bradford (Standard and Micro)
- Lowry
- BCA
- Pierce Micro-BCA
- Pierce 660nm Protein Assay
- Cell growth (with scaling factor)
- Kinetics
