ND-1000 Overview
 
The NanoDrop® ND-1000 UV-Vis Spectrophotometer enables highly accurate analyses of extremely small samples with remarkable reproducibility. The patented sample retention system eliminates the need for cuvettes and capillaries which decreases the measurement cycle time. In addition, the high absorbance capability eliminates the need for most dilutions. You’ll find yourself making fewer dilutions and taking more readings than ever before, essentially becoming a more quantitative laboratory.

Benefits

The ND-1000 offers many benefits over other spectrophotometers:

  • Small samples: designed for 1 ul samples
  • Hi absorbance capability: 50 times that of traditional spectrophotometers
  • No Dilutions for most samples
  • Full Spectrum (220-750nm)
  • 10 second measurement time
  • No cuvettes or capillaries
  • Small size (size of a tissue box)
  • Easy set up (plug and play)


Technology in Brief

Surface tension is used to hold a column of liquid sample in place while a measurement is made. This is done by pipeting the sample directly onto one measurement pedestal. A measurement column is then drawn between the ends of two optical fibers to establish the measurement path as shown below. The measurement is made, typically in less than 10 seconds, and the spectrum and its analysis is shown on the screen of the attached PC and archived on the PC.

Once the measurement is complete, the sample is simply wiped from the measurement pedestals. The software enables individual user accounts for easy data segregation. The archived data can be manipulated by a spreadsheet program such as MS Excel.
