2.3 Features
Cuvette photometer The BioPhotometer plus is a cuvette photometer for the fast, simple and comfortable
measurement of the most important methods in the molecular biology and biochemistry research
laboratory. It can also be used for the main photometric methods in cell biology.
Method programs Method programs for calculating the concentration of nucleic acids, proteins and dye-labeled
nucleic acids and proteins as well as the method "OD600" for calculating the bacteria density
through measuring turbidity are already preprogrammed. However, you can modify those in many
parameters. Other methods for calculating the concentration for 340, 405 and 490 nm can be
freely programmed. The method "absorbance" is used for the fast absorbance measurement with
any of 9 available wavelengths without further evaluation.
Method programs are combined into groups which you can open quickly via fixed keys.
Cuvettes You can use standard rectangular glass or plastic cuvettes with optical transparency for the
respective measuring wavelength. With the Eppendorf UVette you can also measure nucleic
acids and proteins in the UV range using a plastic cuvette. A cover protects the cuvette shaft
against dust and other contamination if the photometer is not in use. To open the cuvette shaft it
is moved back, to cover it after completing the measurements it is moved forward.
Measuring keys After opening a method the device is immediately ready for measuring. A measurement is started
with one of the 3 round measuring keys.
