1.1 MICrO VOLuME ACCESSOry dESCrIPTION
The Genova Nano is a UV/visible spectrophotometer dedicated to life science analysis. This
spectrophotometer incorporates a micro volume sample measurement accessory that allows sample
volumes as low as 0.5μl to be analysed. The Genova Nano spectrophotometer is pre-programmed with
methods to determine DNA concentrations and purity ratios using wavelengths recorded at 260, 280
and 230nm, with an optional correction at 320nm and the Bradford, Lowry, Biuret, BCA and Direct UV
methods for protein analysis. When the micro volume accessory is removed, the Genova Nano reverts to
a standard Genova Plus spectrophotometer with measurement modes for photometrics, concentration,
multi-wavelength, spectrum scanning, quantitation and kinetics.
This life science spectrophotometer uses icon driven software and has an improved navigation system
for easy and intuitive usability.
