Molecular Devices adds to its innovative product family of microplate readers and provides researchers with rapid, accurate DNA, RNA, and protein quantitation in a one-touch, full-spectrum micro-volume absorbance reader.

Silicon Valley, CA

Molecular Devices, a leader in bioanalytical systems for drug discovery, life science research, and bioassay development, today announced the launch of the SpectraMax® QuickDrop™ Micro-Volume Spectrophotometer. The QuickDrop Spectrophotometer addresses the needs of life science researchers who quantify very small amounts of DNA, RNA, oligos, and proteins. The QuickDrop Spectrophotometer provides researchers with the flexibility to work with micro-volume samples as small as 0.5 µL, preserving their precious samples, or with larger samples using the standard 10 mm cuvette port. The micro-volume sample port features a horizontal light beam and a fixed path length for reliable results regardless of sample viscosity.
