Summary

The Good

Same reliable accuracy of older nanodrop models but with excellent new features.

The Bad

Sometimes it doesn't register that a USB is plugged in.

The Bottom Line

Carbon dating is really sensitive to contaminants, so this contaminant identification technology is really helpful. We appreciate this new updated version of the nanodrop.
