BioSpec-nano Spectroscopy

A spectrophotometer dedicated to carrying out concentration checks for DNA and RNA nucleic acid samples, the BioSpec-nano enables life science researchers to conserve precious samples and obtain accurate and reproducible results easily. An automatic Mounting/Wiping Function makes it possible. The upper window automatically moves, and a droplet having the specified pathlength is formed. After measurement, liquid-contact parts (upper window and target) are automatically wiped by the specialized wiper. Quantitation of DNA and RNA can be carried out with very small samples ranging from 1 μL. The software is designed for simple operation. All basic operations such as measurement, changing the wiper, switching data display, report output (in PDF file), data export (in CSV format) can be carried out by clicking buttons on the tool bar. The BioSpec-nano now offers photometric and protein analysis capabilities.

FTIR Spectrophotometer (Fourier Transform InfraRed Spectrophotometers)

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometers are primarily used to predict (qualitate) the structure of organic compounds. When molecules are irradiated with infrared light, the infrared wavelengths corresponding to the vibrational energy between the constituent atoms are absorbed. Infrared spectroscopy evaluates the degree of this absorption to quantify or predict the structure of compounds. Currently, the most popular FTIR systems include a laser wavenumber monitor, interferometer with moving mirror, and a computer unit for data processing. Shimadzu's IRTracer-100 is a revolutionary FTIR system packed with state-of-the-art technology, such as the highest sensitivity in its class, expandability that allows measurements ranging from near infrared to far infrared, and user-friendly operating controls based on the new IR solution workstation software, which supports FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.

Spectrofluorophotometer (RF)

Compared to absorption methods, fluorescence spectroscopy is ten to several thousand times more sensitive. This allows analyzing picogram to nanogram-sized samples with excellent results. Fluorescence can also be used to identify specific molecules in a complex spectral background. This technique is widely used in pharmaceuticals and pharmacology, biochemistry, food science, environmental monitoring and chemical analyses. The RF-6000 is a versatile fluorescence spectrophotometer that takes full advantage of the benefits of fluorescence spectroscopy by offering high sensitivity, high scanning speed, three-dimensional measurement, and automation. This allows it to be used for a wide range of applications, from routine analysis to research and development. With optional super ion probe software, as well as a water circulation system and syringe adapter, the RF-6000 can be used for intracellular ion analysis.
