BioSpec-nano Spectrophotometer A spectrophotometer for Life Science research. BioSpec-nano is a spectrophotometer dedicated to testing the concentration and purity of nucleic acid and protein samples. The device requires 1 to 2 µl of sample. The measurement consists of applying a drop of sample to the detection window using a pipette and pressing the [Start] button on the program screen to start the automatic approximation of the measuring lenses, performing the measurement and finally automatically removing the sample from the detection window. It is not necessary to make corrections to the vertical settings or manually wipe the detection window with a cloth. Dedicated software simplifies the use of the device. Just click the button on the toolbar to perform basic operations for a given measurement, print reports and export data. Features: Pathway 0.2 mm, 0.7 mm (manual switching) Sample volume - Pathway 0.2 mm: 1 µL min.; pathway 0.7 mm: 2 µL min. Quantitative analysis range - Pathway 0.2 mm: 1 to 75 OD, 50 to 3700 ng/µL OD, converted to double-stranded DNA concentration - Pathway 0.7 mm: 0.3 to 21 OD, 15 to 1000 ng/µL Wavelength range 220 to 800 nm Wavelength accuracy ±1 nm
About this machine
The Shimadzu BIOSPEC-NANO is a laboratory spectrophotometer — sometimes referred to as a microvolume spectrophotometer — designed specifically for Life Science research applications. Shimadzu is a well-established Japanese manufacturer with a long history of producing precision analytical and measuring instruments for scientific, medical, and industrial laboratory environments. This instrument is dedicated to measuring the concentration and purity of nucleic acid and protein samples, making it a core tool in molecular biology and biochemistry workflows.
One of the defining characteristics of this spectrophotometer is its exceptionally low sample volume requirement. Depending on the selected optical pathway, as little as 1 µL of sample is needed for a measurement, eliminating the need for large quantities of precious biological material. The instrument features two manually switchable optical pathways: 0.2 mm and 0.7 mm, allowing the user to tailor the measurement range to the concentration of the sample at hand. With the 0.2 mm pathway, the quantitative analysis range spans 1 to 75 OD, equivalent to 50 to 3,700 ng/µL when converted to double-stranded DNA concentration. Switching to the 0.7 mm pathway reduces the range to 0.3 to 21 OD, or 15 to 1,000 ng/µL, which is better suited to lower-concentration samples.
The wavelength range of the instrument covers 220 to 800 nm, encompassing the ultraviolet and visible spectrum regions most relevant to nucleic acid and protein analysis, with a wavelength accuracy of ±1 nm. The measurement process is highly automated: the user applies a drop of sample to the detection window via pipette and initiates the measurement through the software interface, after which the instrument automatically closes the measuring lenses, performs the measurement, and clears the detection window without any manual wiping or vertical adjustment by the operator. Dedicated software accompanies the device, enabling straightforward execution of measurements, report printing, and data export from a single toolbar interface.
This is a used unit from 2020, located in Poland, and is offered at $4,000.
