The Thermo Scientific™ NanoDrop™ Eight UV-Vis Spectrophotometer is an advanced, multichannel microvolume spectrophotometer built for high-throughput quantification and quality analysis of nucleic acids and proteins. Capable of analyzing 8 samples simultaneously in less than 20 seconds, this system is ideal for pharma/biotech labs and academic research environments handling medium- to high-throughput workflows.
Powered by Thermo Scientific™ Acclaro™ Sample Intelligence Technology, the instrument delivers accurate, reproducible measurements by identifying contaminants, correcting concentration calculations, and differentiating DNA from RNA—ensuring reliable results for downstream applications like PCR, NGS, and microarray analysis.
With hardware improvements from the NanoDrop™ 8000 and the best software features of the NanoDrop™ One/OneC, this system represents the next generation of UV-Vis quantification for microvolume samples.
Key Features
Simultaneous 8-Sample Quantification
- Measures 8 samples in under 20 seconds.
- Ideal for labs requiring rapid throughput and consistent performance.
Acclaro™ Sample Intelligence Technology
- Contaminant Identification: Detects common nucleic acid and protein sample contaminants that affect data integrity.
- Corrected Concentration Algorithms: Chemometric models accurately calculate true analyte concentrations.
- DNA vs. RNA Differentiation: Distinguishes DNA and RNA contamination within mixed samples.
