Process More Samples in Less Time
With the Thermo Scientific NanoDrop 8000, you can measure more samples in less
time without sacrificing the reliability and easy-to-use technology of the single
sample model. The NanoDrop 8000 spectrophotometer takes full-spectrum UV-Vis
absorbance measurements of up to eight samples simultaneously. Using an eightchannel pipette to dispense samples on a linear array of pedestals, you can easily
measure 96 samples in less than six minutes. This instrument offers:
Improved productivity with capability of analyzing up to eight 1 l samples at
one time
New, innovative software for creating custom methods with unit selection, oligo
calculator and flexible options to design reports and export data
Increased efficiency with the Sample Position Illuminator, which reduces error by
keeping track of the samples to be measured
High throughput for environments such as biorepositories, genotyping facilities
and quality control labs
Improved productivity for busy labs where multiple users currently use the single
sample model

Thermo Scientific NanoDrop 3300


Fluorospectrometer
Full-Spectrum Fluorescent Analysis
Using our patented technology, the Thermo Scientific NanoDrop 3300 Fluorospectrometer
performs broad spectrum fluorescent analysis in a versatile, high-performance
instrument. The NanoDrop 3300 significantly lowers the mass detection limit more
than an order of magnitude, compared to conventional fluorometers. The NanoDrop
3300 is a powerful instrument that offers many benefits:
Sample size as small as 1l, which conserves precious samples for other
applications and testing
Wide excitation range without the need to change filters or use of a monochromator
Multiple emission profiles from a single sample by exciting multiple fluorophores
simultaneously due to broad excitation wavelength range
Easy to use even for those with limited fluorescence expertise
