Introduction

UV-Visible Spectrophotometer with One Drop Accessory
V-630
UV-Visible Spectrophotometer

The SAH-769 One Drop accessory is used for fast and accurate quantitation of small volumes of proteins and nucleic acids. To make a measurement a single drop of sample is pipetted onto the cell (5μL for 1mm or 0.6μL for 0.2 mm optical pathlengths respectively).

This application note demonstrates both the reproducibility and linearity of the SAH-769 One Drop accessory using calf thymus DNA with both 1 mm and 0.2 mm pathlength cells.

Experimental

Measurement Conditions
Wavelength260 nmBandwidth1.5 nm
ResponseMedium

A drop of sample was dispensed, measured, and repeated 10 times. The sample was wiped from the cell in between measurements. The procedure can be seen in Figure 1.
