“Great results and very accurate!”

Rating: 5.0   ★★★★★

Application Area: Protein assays and concentrations

“I love love love this machine. It’s portable, idiot proof, and accurate. For its DNA analysis, it is much more accurate than the old familiar, …. I love the fact that it is so modifiable and easy to use. We use it for a variety of functions in the lab, including Bradford assays. I really love that there is a built-in graph for these and that you can email it to yourself or save on a USB stick. This machine is the thing we have all been needing but never knew we missed. Also the customer care is outstanding and I look forward to our rep every time she comes.”

“Awesome machine. I would purchase another one for additional labs.”

Rating: 5.0   ★★★★★

Application Area: Genetics Academic Laboratory – Microarray Core

“I love the dynamic range for RNA/DNA measurements. We did our own in house check for reproducibility. The interface is very user friendly and easier to use than … We like that we can use 1 ul of precious sample for an accurate reading rather than the required 1.5ul for … I am in the midst of uploading the newest upgraded software so I will test it out and give additional feedback. This has been a god-send. We have very low concentration samples that are very precious and this allows us to make measurements on these types of samples. Also, after doing PCR amplification, we no longer have to make dilutions for the upper limit readings due to the large dynamic range.”

“Very good for DNA quantification”

Rating: 5.0   ★★★★★

Application Area: Research and development

“We bought N120 for quantifying a lot of DNA samples. I think this machine is best instrument.”

“Small but excellent”

Rating: 5.0   ★★★★★

Application Area: Gastroenterologie/Hepatologie, Medizinisches Forschungszentrum

“The N60 is an excellent product for determining concentrations of nucleic acids and proteins. Advantages include the accessibility of measured data, as the device exports measurements as .csv and .pdf files and that the device can be cleaned with 70% Ethanol and water. Plus, it contains an in-built vortexer.”

“Great accuracy of measurements, easy usage, really nice interface.”

Rating: 5.0   ★★★★★

Application Area: determination of the concentration of proteins and nucleic acids solutions

“C40 NanoPhotometer is a great tool to measure macromolecule concentrations in microvolumes. It surpasses our previous … machine as it does not need calibration and has more functions. Easy interface is a great advantage and the new function of enzyme kinetics together with vortex makes this small and handy tool a multitask help in our lab. The wi-fi functions enables us to print spectra quickly. Measurements are repeatable and accurate. I would recommend the equipment every biochemistry lab.”

“I love these machines. They make my job easier”

Rating: 5.0   ★★★★★

Application Area: Teaching lab/upper divisional Bioc lab

“We have 8 and I am very pleased with how easy they are to use. This is a new product for our students and they are able to follow the directions we give them and get results. With any new piece of equipment, there is a learning curve, but it’s a small one once they are comfortable using them. I like the fact that they are easy to demo, easy to install updates, and easy to troubleshoot. Compared to our old specs, these save the students time, they get results quickly, each group has their own NanoPhotometer at their station so they don’t have to bring their supplies to the spec as we did in the past. I do not get complaints like I did with our other specs and I know that I can always get help when needed. My sales rep is fantastic.”

“Really impressed with the accuracy, ease of use, and increased sample throughput”

Rating: 5.0   ★★★★★

Application Area: DNA Analysis

“I’ve really been impressed with the accuracy, ease of use, and increased sample throughput with this instrument. All this in such a small and sleek black box. The touch screen interface is a nice feature and very straightforward. You can easily navigate through the applications, load templates, access and analyze your data. I like that you’re given the option to run up to 12 samples at a time but you can also choose to run 1 or 2 samples, customizable to your experiments. Having options is always a plus and you get that with the N120. The pipette guide makes it really easy to apply your samples. I can see that a lot of time, expertise, and careful considerations went into developing the NanoPhotometer.”

“Ideal for RNA and DNA oligos”

Rating: 5.0   ★★★★★

Application Area: Department of medical biochemistry and microbiology

“We mainly use the NP80 for quantification of short RNA and DNA oligonucleotides, for which it gives very accurate and reproducible readings. One of the main benefits for us was the option to input the oligonucleotide sequence and directly get a concentration value in umol/L, which is very convenient and a great time-saver. We can fully recommend this instrument.”

“Streamlined and well-functioning”

Rating: 5.0   ★★★★★

Biological science

“Nanophotometer N60 is a neat and decent instrument. The accurate measurement of DNA or RNA is indispensable for molecular biology, but the performance of common “nano-drop” machines vary significantly. N60 is so streamlined with regard to the main function and performs elegantly. The measurement speed was so fast that there was no need to wait for the subsequent measure. Touch panel is also a good one and the informations on the screen is well-organized and easy to follow. I highly recommend it.”
