Follow this Equipment

NanoDrop 8000 Spectrophotometer measures up to 8 micro-volume samples (1µl - 2 µl) at a time - without dilutions or cuvettes

Thermo Scientific NanoDrop 8000, measures more samples in less time without sacrificing the reliability and easy-to-use technology of the single sample model, the NanoDrop™ 2000. The NanoDrop 8000 spectrophotometer takes full-spectrum UV-Vis absorbance measurements of up to eight samples
simultaneously. Using an eight channel pipette to dispense samples on a linear array of pedestals, 96 samples are measured in less than six minutes - all without dilutions even for highly concentrated samples. Its small footprint, portability and ease of use makes this a versatile instrument for many types of labs - QC, research, and manufacturing.
