Biowave DNA A DEDICATED SCIENCE BASED INSTRUMENT WITH STORED ROUTINES FOR , AND Life Science Spectrophotometer CELL DENSITY MEASUREMENTS. A WORKHORSE FOR THE MOLECULAR BIOLOGIST

The Biowave DNA has been specifically designed for life ■ NOVEL GIFFORD OPTICS FOR HIGH science applications and is a powerful tool for the laboratory ENERGY COMBINED WITH A XENON that requires a dedicated instrument for the determination of nucleic acid purity and concentration, protein SOURCE FOR LONG LAMP LIFETIME concentrations or cell density measurements. ■ SIMPLE SELECTION SOFTWARE WITH The system utilises Gifford Optics for high energy STORED METHODS FOR LIFE SCIENCE throughput, a Xenon light source for long lamp lifetimes APPLICATIONS together with simple selection software and large graphical display for ease of use and data interpretation. The stored ■ FULL GRAPHICS DISPLAY methods include DNA, RNA and oligonucleotide calculations, protein assays such as direct UV measurement, ■ NUCLEIC ACID SCANS FOR PURITY BCA, Biuret, Bradford and Lowry and cell density CHECKING. measurement. Unlike many dedicated life science ■ INTEGRATED PRINTER (OPTION) instruments the Biowave DNA can also measure Absorbance or concentration at any wavelength so there is complete ■ COMPACT SPACE SAVING DESIGN flexibility for future applications. ■ COMPATIBLE WITH LOW VOLUME For added convenience it is possible to display a scan of the nucleic acid profile which is particularly useful for RNA CUVETTES samples where impurities may be present in the 230 nm ■ UNIQUE, INTEGRAL CUVETTE TRAY region, yet not have an adverse effect on the 260/280 Absorbance ratio. The system is compatible with both Quartz FOR SECURELY HOLDING EXPENSIVE and disposable low volume UV cuvettes. CELLS AND VALUABLE SAMPLES Results may be printed to an optional integrated high quality graphical printer for a permanent record or exported via a USB connection to a suitable PC running optional Print Via Computer (PVC) software for advanced reporting or data storage.
