Spectrophotometry
A spectrophotometer measures the amount of light that a sample absorbs. The instrument operates by passing a beam of light through a sample and measuring the intensity of light reaching a detector.- Nanodrop ND1000
- Wave length 220-750nm.
- Measures 1uL samples with high accuracy and reproducibility.
- Uses surface tension to hold samples in place- no cuvettes to hold samples in.
- Able to measure highly concentrated samples without dilutions.
- Beckman DU 530 single cell module
- Wavelength range 190-1100nm.
- Silica or quartz cuvettes for UV range or glass or plastic cuvettes for visible region.
- Benchmark Plus Microplate Reader
- Spectral range 340-800nm.
- Any 6 through 384-well microplates with dimensions 138mm x 98mm x 15mm (LxWxH) are compatible with the instrument.
The Core Facility offers a spectrophotometer for public use. For extensive use the fee is $1.00 per hour. Please contact
the core facility to arrange instrument use.
