The Thermo Scientific NanoDrop™ 3300 Fluorospectrometer can perform full spectrum fluorescent analysis of 1 ul samples without the use of cuvettes or capillaries. The instrument’s patented sample retention system uses surface tension to hold the sample in place on the fiber optic measurement surface.
Additional preconfigured software applications include FITC (fluorescein), Cy-AlexaFluor dyes, B-Phycoerythrin, Quinine Sulfate, Sulforhodamine and 4-MU. The method editor may be used to configure additional or custom fluorescent applications. .
