Life Science Analyzer
Genova

The Genova is an efficient, high performance grating spectrophotometer designed for the busy molecular biologist. With RNA/DNA, oligonucleotide, protein, and O.D. analysis software on board, results can be obtained quickly and accurately.


FEATURES
  • Photometric Mode with Selectable Wavelength
  • On-board RNA/DNA Analytical Software
  • On-board Protein Analytical Software
  • Method Storage
  • Scanning Capabilities
  • RS232 Port
  • Security Lock
  • Versatile Sampling System
  • Small Footprint

The Genova is extremely versatile offering method storage, photometric operation, a selectable wavelength range of 198 to 100 nm, and scanning capabilities. The Genova can measure down to 50µl of a sample and as little as 20µl with the micro capillary accessory.

This lightweight, compact analyzer can fit easily anywhere in the lab, while the 5-button keypad and the large LCD allow for effortless interfacing. Upon start up, the Genova self-calibrates at three wavelengths, assuring optimal operation. With a single touch of the print key, results and G.L.P. compliant information can be printed or downloaded to a PC through the RS232 port.

The Genova features a xenon lamp, which has the advantage of offering a broad spectral source with high-energy light throughout the wavelength range. The xenon lamp flashes at a high rate, extending lamp life and lowering operation costs. This innovative tool is covered under a 3-year warranty and is priced to fit any budget.

The onboard software has the wavelengths, calculations and factors necessary for analysis, including the following.
  • Protein: Bradford, Lowry, Biuret, Biccinchonic, and Direct UV.
  • 260/280 ratio and 260/230 ratio with correction by subtraction at a third wavelength and multiplication by factors.
  • ssDNA, dsDNA, RNA, Oligonucleotides and OD 600

Also, a variable ratio mode allows the user to change the wavelengths and factor allowing for fine adjustment and greater accuracy.
