 DropSenseฎ 96

DropSenseฎ 96

Polychromatic ์l plate reader

• Designed for reading DropPlates and microplates

• UV – VIS absorption spectrometry – perfect fit for biomolecule

quantification

• Full spectrum in seconds – for multiprobe measurements

• Large dynamic range (2 – 3500 ng/์l dsDNA) – no need for

diluting concentrated samples

• Easy to control – Ready to use

• Predefined methods for DNA/RNA and protein measurements

• High reproducibility – internal lamp compensation

• Full developed software on remote PC

Key Applications

• Determination of DNA/RNA purity and concentration in the range of 2 – 3500 ng/์l (dsDNA)

without dilution

• Measuring the dye labelling efficiency of micro-array samples

 

Unique patent pending optical spectrometer design combining cylindrical lenses with integrated

optical elements, high resolution gratings and ultrasensitive photodiode array.

 

 

 

DropPlateฎ 16/96

• 0.5 – 2.5 μl sample quantities – minimizing consumption

of your samples.

• 16 to 96 sample disposable technology – your route

to higher throughput and automation

• Minimized sample evaporation, allowing time and

temperature depending assays

• Dynamic range: 2 – 3.500 ng/μl dsDNA

• No sample dilution needed

 

Step 1

Fluid is dispensed into input well. Dispensing is done manually or via a liquid

handling robot. The chip is not in the DropSense system during dispensing.

Step 2

Fluid is drawn into capillary channel due to capillary action (hydrophilized COC

material). The chip is now ready to be loaded into the system.

A first optical measurement will be performed to verify the absorption of the chip

material. No sample is yet in the optical pathway.

Step 3

First chamber is filled by applying a small vacuum pressure at the evacuation hole

above the spill chamber. This pressure is supplied by an external source, integrated

in the DropSense system. Another optical measurement is performed

Step 4

Second chamber is also filled (first chamber remains also filled) by applying a

higher vacuum pressure. Another optical measurement is performed
