Spectrophotometer UV5 Bio

Spectrophotometry for Bio and Kinetics.The compact UV5Bio benchtop UV/Vis spectrophotometer is the perfect fit for laboratories analyzing biological samples or performing temperature studies. Its flexible accessories and small footprint make it the perfect fit for every busy lab.

Ready-to-Use Bio-Applications

Pre-programmed applications for Nucleic Acids (DNA, RNA, mRNA, Oligos, etc.) with QC Ratios (260/280 and 260/230), protein assays, and cell density.

Temperature Control

Add temperature to your samples with CuveT. Expand your applications and measure kinetics, lipase activity, protein denaturation, and melting point.

Stand-Alone and Software Operation

The instrument can be operated with the LabX UV/VIS PC software or without a PC connection, allowing a minimal footprint on the bench.

Direct Measurement and Methods

Direct measurement for nucleic acids (e.g., dsDNA, RNA), protein assays (Bradford, Lowry, etc.), protein concentration (direct A280) or cell density (OD600) deliver immediate results. Individual methods allow setting control for more precise results.

Fixed Wavelength, Scan and Quant

Measure transmittance or absorbance at a fixed, single, multiple, or entire wavelength range, or use quantification to calculate the concentration of an absorbing sample. The spectrum's peaks and valleys reveal the sample's composition and purit

Kinetic Measurements

Kinetics measurements track the change in concentration of reactants or products over time by measuring absorbance at a specific wavelength. The rates of reactions are calculated automatically by the instrument.

Oligo Calculator

Easily calculate the specific extinction coefficient by entering the nucleotide sequence into the integrated oligo calculator.

Color Measurement

Choose from 15 pre-programmed color numbers and calculations, including CIELAB, Gardner, APHA, and Yellowness Index. These predefined settings ensure consistent and dependable results for industrial quality control or scientific research.

Efficient Accessories and Automation

Using accessories such as a thermostat, pumps, a cuvette changer or an autosampler, you may simplify your measurements and readily adapt to new applications.

LabX™ UV/VIS Software

The LabX™ UV/VIS software gives instant access to all measurement data, including automatic plausibility checks, report generation, and statistical analyses of your results. With the graphical method editor, method development becomes an easy task.
