Highly versatile photometer package

The BioPhotometer plus delivers instant access to 32 routine methods, of which nine are freely programmable, including measurement of DNA, RNA and protein concentration, enzyme assays and the incorporation rate of fluorescent dyes. Designed for use with cuvettes such as the Eppendorf UVette, optimisation for measurement of small volumes using microlitre cells like the Hellma TrayCell adds considerably to the instrument’s versatility.

According to Kerstin Vieluf, Eppendorf product manager: “The BioPhotometer plus provides all the flexibility needed for a wide range of applications. With three new wavelengths available, the number of routine methods increases to 32. Additional methods are the incorporation rate and concentration of fluorescent dyes (Cy3, Cy5) in nucleic acids or proteins, measurement of enzymatic activities, cell biological assays and direct measurement at single wavelengths.”
