spectrophotometer-nano drop liteThermo scientific
The NanoDrop Lite is a standalone microvolume instrument which uses our patented sample-retention system to deliver the same exceptional accuracy and reproducibility as other NanoDrop instruments. Its compact design, with built-in controls and software, makes the NanoDrop Lite small enough to fit on any benchtop, but powerful enough to deliver rapid, accurate and reproducible measurements.
The NanoDrop Lite is designed for labs that want the trusted NanoDrop technology, but don’t need the full performance or spectral data of the NanoDrop 2000|2000c or NanoDrop 8000. It is also ideal for labs that already have a NanoDrop instrument or that share a NanoDrop instrument with other labs.
