Picofluor™ Fluorometer
is a lightweight, inexpensive, handheld fluorometer, configured for the
fluorescent probes commonly used for nucleic acid and protein quantitation.
Although small in size and priced to fit a tight budget, its performance
has not been compromised. Its two dedicated channels enable quick analysis
of samples for two different fluorescent signals. The Picofluor™
brings a new level of simplicity to fluorescence measurements and is economical
enough to fit any budget.
Features and Benefits
of the Picofluor™
-
Inexpensive: You can afford to buy several for multiple
users in the lab.
-
Two dedicated optical
channels: Allow you to measure two different fluorophores in the
same assay.
-
Easy to use: No special
training needed—focus on your data, not on the software.
-
Four decade dynamic
range.
-
Rugged and reliable:
Built and backed by Turner BioSystems, the leading manufacturer of
more fluorometers and luminometers.
-
Internal data logging
package with interfacing software to Microsoft and Excel.
Can log up to 1,000 data points.
-
-
Compact: Small and
lightweight Picofluor™ Fluorometer will not tie up bench
space.
