Pedestal Measurements
The patented sample retention system used by the Thermo Scientific
NanoDrop 2000 and NanoDrop™ 2000c allows for the analysis of
0.5 µl - 2.0 µl samples, without the need for cuvettes or capillaries.
With the arm open, a sample is pipetted directly onto the pedestal.
| |
After the arm is closed, a sample column is formed. |
|
The pedestal then moves to automatically adjust for an optimal path
length (0.05 mm - 1 mm). |
|
When the measurement is complete, the surfaces are simply wiped with a
lint-free lab wipe before going on to the next sample. |

Cuvette Measurements
The NanoDrop 2000c model includes a built-in cuvette capability.
Most
common cuvettes and micro-cuvettes may be used with this instrument
(8.5 mm z-height and 2 mm beam). |
