The DeNovix DS-C is a simple-to-use UV-Vis cuvette spectrophotometer with outstanding dynamic range, sensitivity and flexibility. Rapidly quantify biomolecules using any cuvette with an 8.5 mm z-height.
Features :
Enables up to 10 mm pathlength measurements using standard quartz or disposable cuvettes extending the UV-Vis lower detectible limit. The built-in cuvette heater controls temperatures for Kinetics studies. These added features provide a full range of UV-Vis absorbance quantitation in a single instrument.
DS-C instruments feature the most powerful and intuitive software of its type. Designed by life scientists, pre-installed EasyApps® and a breakthrough Android™ touchscreen interface delivers error-free operation and sample to data in under 4 seconds. Every instrument is ready to measure right out of the box – no PC set-up or software installation.
Measure samples with concentrations as low as 0.04 ng/ul of purified dsDNA or 0.002 mg/ml purified BSA.
Create simple kinetics methods measuring two absorbance wavelengths over a user-defined measurement frequency and period. EasyApps® streamlines the process to create and save custom methods and enables cuvette temperature control between 37°C to 45°C.
The high-particulate nature of bacterial cell cultures benefit from a longer measurement pathlength. The particulates in these samples scatter light, and a 10 mm pathlength provides a longer cross-section of the sample for the spectrophotometer’s light beam to travel through. This ensures the highest degree of accuracy and reproducibility when measuring these types of samples.
Built-in Wi-Fi, Ethernet and USB allows easy export of data you want in the format you need. Email a .csv or color .jpg of your results, save data to LIMS or network drives, print results or graphs to network and label printers and more !
To take advantage of enhanced sensitivity and specificity, the DS-C can be upgraded to add fluorescence capability with the addition of the FX module allowing any DS-C to also function as a highly sensitive fluorometer. Alternatively, the DS-11 FX Series integrates both microvolume, cuvette absorbance and fluorescence into one compact instrument.
