In 2006 Implen developed and successfully launched its first photometer, the NanoPhotometer®. Using Sample Compression Technology™ combined with modern computer technology the NanoPhotometer® improves both functionality and reliability for the non-destructive measuring of microliter samples. As a result, today the NanoPhotometer® is one of the most sought-after small volume spectrophotometers around the globe.
New products to serve adjacent markets and special applications are constantly being developed. For example, Dilucell™ launched in March 2008, is a cuvette that through its mechanical properties, achieves a sample volume reduction as well as a dilution effect for photometric measurements, and is used in the OD600 DiluPhotometer™.
In 2008, Implen, Inc. was organized in the United States to cover the important North American market. Located in Los Angeles County, the United States operation has added numerous organizations as new customers including United States Government Agencies, Fortune 500 companies, and prominent universities.
In September 2010, Implen launched the NanoPhotometer® Pearl as a second generation instrument. Improving on the NanoPhotometer®‘s proven Sample Compression Technology™, the NanoPhotometer® Pearl established itself as a best-in-class instrument with superior specifications, performance, and value in the micro-volume UV-Vis market.
In October 2011 the 3rd generation NanoPhotometer® P-Class was launched as the latest innovation to bring unmatched performance in an even more all-in-one solution. The full line of microvolume spectrophotometers offers NanoVolume analysis, cuvette capability, standalone operation, and a built-in vortexer for an easy to use multifunctional instrument for biological research laboratories.
In April 2015 the 4th generation NanoPhotometer® was released as the first full line of spectrophotometers including nanovolume (N60/N50), cuvette (C40) and combined nanovolume/cuvette (NP80) models. The new NanoPhotometer® product line redefines complete mobile spectroscopy with compact stand-alone operation including up to 8 hours of battery power. The innovative flexible unit control provides options for controlling the instrument via PC, smartphone, tablet, and optional built-in glove compatible LCD touchscreen. The New NanoPhotometer® models still offer the smallest sample requirement (0.3 µl), built-in vortexer, broad dynamic range, fast scan times, and lifelong accuracy without need for maintenance or recalibration.
