NanoDrop Eight

The Thermo Fisher Scientific NanoDrop™ Eight provides intelligent sample analysis, eight samples at a time. A PC controlled system, providing fast and accurate quantification with unrivalled flexibility. It also features the unique Acclaro™ sample intelligence technology, using chemometrics to identify and correct for copurified contaminants. This provides a clearer picture of sample quality, reducing the risk of downstream reaction failures, saving time and money.
