MicroDrop2000 UV-Vis Spectrophotometer

 Description

The MicroDrop 2000 is a self-developed microvolume UV-Vis spectrophotometer designed for high precision and reproducibility across a wavelength range of 190–1100 nm. Requiring only 1–2 μL of sample per measurement, it enables rapid and reliable analysis without the need for cuvettes. The instrument supports a wide range of applications.

Key Features

• Stand-alone touchscreen operation — No external computer required, saving valuable bench space.
• Dual measurement modes — Supports both microvolume (pedestal) and standard cuvette formats.
• Full-spectrum range — Measures continuously from 190 to 1100 nm with < 1.8 nm spectral resolution.
• Wide detection range — dsDNA quantification from 2 ng/µL to 37,500 ng/µL
• Precision light source — Xenon flash lamp combined with a 2048element linear CCD array and advanced software ensures high accuracy and reproducibility.
• Minimal sample volume — Requires only 0.5–2 µL for rapid measurement of nucleic acid and protein concentration and purity.
• Multi-application versatility — Enables measurement of nucleic acids, proteins (A280 and colorimetric assays), cell cultures (OD600), and custom kinetics.
• Rapid measurement cycle — Provides results in under 4 seconds in pedestal mode and cuvette mode.
• Compact and portable design — Lightweight and space-saving footprint for easy placement and mobility in the lab.
• Flexible output options — Export results in multiple file formats for streamlined data management and reporting.
• Sample retention system — Magnetic light-blocking cap and patented design minimize evaporation and ambient light interference during microvolume analysis.

Applications

• Nucleic acid analysis: Accurate quantification of concentration and purity
  Protein analysis: Determination of various protein concentrations using multiple assay methods
• Cell and bacterial growth monitoring: OD measurements for culture density assessment
• Full-spectrum scanning: Routine UV-Vis spectral analysis across the entire range
