Life Sciences Spectrophotometer
Genova Plus
The new Genova Plus is a UV/visible spectrophotometer
dedicated to life science analysis. This spectrophotometer is
based on the successful 73 series spectrophotometers therefore
it has all of the same features including icon driven software and
an improved navigation system for easy and intuitive usability.
The Genova Plus has pre-programmed methods for the
measurement of nucleic acid concentrations and protein assays.
This spectrophotometer also has measurement modes for the
purity of nucleic acids and optical density for cell harvesting.
As well as the dedicated life science measurement modes
this versatile instrument can also be used as a standard
spectrophotometer with measurement modes for photometrics,
concentration, multi-wavelength, spectrum scanning,
quantitation and kinetics.
The Genova Plus is pre-programmed with methods for the
measurement of ssDNA, dsDNA, RNA and oligonucleotide
concentrations using wavelengths recorded at 260, 280
and 230nm, with an optional correction at 320nm. This
measurement mode has the 260/280 and 260/230
ratios pre-programmed as well as a variable ratio
option which enables up to 3 wavelengths to be
entered as well as the correction wavelength.
A dilution option is also available to calculate
the original concentration of diluted samples.
For measuring protein concentrations the
Genova Plus is pre-programmed with methods
for Bradford, Lowry, Biuret, Bicinchoninic Acid
(BCA) and Direct UV assays. This measurement
mode allows up to 12 standards, with 3 replicates of each
standard, to be measured to create the standard curve.
Bacterial cell cultures are routinely grown until the optical
density at 600nm reaches approximately 0.4, which indicates the
optimum cell number for harvesting. This measurement mode
enables cell growth to be monitored by measuring absorbance.
Measurements can be performed at 600nm, 595nm or any other
user selected wavelength.
The Genova Plus also enables scanning across the full wavelength
range from 198 to 1000nm enabling the purity of nucleic acids
to be determined. The multi-wavelength measurement mode
allows the sample to be measured at 4 different wavelengths,
with ratio calculations and formulae with various factors to
calculate concentration.
