 Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world
leader in serving science, today announced the new Thermo Scientific µDrop
Plate for the quick and easy measurement of samples down to 2 µL. The µDropTM
Plate provides a straightforward way of analyzing up to 16 microliter-scale
samples simultaneously. The fixed light path of the plate allows direct
calculation of nucleic acid concentrations of the samples. Furthermore, users
can detect dsDNA from a few micrograms to a few milligrams per milliliter,
without needing to perform any dilutions. These characteristics make the µDrop
Plate an ideal tool for photometric DNA or RNA quantitation and purity
analysis. The company showcased the µDrop Plate at the Thermo Scientific booth
in hall 9, stand G53 during Biotechnica 2011, held 11-13 October 2011 in
Hannover, Germany. Samples are easily pipetted onto the µDrop Plate using a single- or eight-channel pipette. The plate is easily wiped clean, making it convenient for serial measurements. Additionally, the µDrop Plate is equipped with a cuvette slot, enabling endpoint, spectral and kinetic measurements in a standard rectangular cuvette. The µDrop Plate has been designed for use with the Thermo Scientific Multiskan GO UV/Vis microplate and cuvette spectrophotometer, as well as the Thermo Scientific Varioskan Flash spectral scanning multimode reader. This extends their capabilities to include micro-scale absorbance measurements.
