Thermo Scientific Biomate 3 Spectrophotometer with Printer

Description

Thermo BioMate 3 Provides convenient, accurate UV-Vis measurements for life science laboratories
Accurate, Reliable Performance for Life Science Laboratories
The BioMate 3 is a grating-based spectrophotometer that can also be used as a general purpose instrument to measure other life science applications such as kinetics or multiwavelength analysis. In addition, it includes built-in software that will run performance verification measurements of photometric accuracy, wavelength accuracy, noise and stray light.
The instruments feature the unique SmartStart
TM
screen that lets you select one, two or more pre-selected protocols. Turn on the instrument and the boot-up screen shows the selected tests ™ without additional scrolling.
DNA ratio and concentration, with or without scanning
Protein standard curves for Bradford, Lowry, BCA and Biuret reagents
Direct UV concentrations of dsDNA, ssDNA, RNA and oligonucleotides
Warburg-Christian method for measuring protein concentration
Cell growth
Oligo calculations for absorptivity, concentration factor, theoretical Tm values from a user-entered base sequence
Hardware Designed for Performance
Improved, 1.8nm spectral bandwidth is compliant with worldwide Pharmacopeia requirements, allowing research quality measurements with routine simplicity
Patented optical design provides a compact, high-performance dual-beam system with very few moving parts
Xenon lamp gives balanced light over the full instrument wavelength range of 190 to 1100nm
Dual-beam optical system includes an internal reference detector and offers significant advantages over a single beam or diode array instruments, including compensation for lamp intensity changes, better performance for kinetics, and better long-term stability
