Nippon  FastGene® NanoSpec - Model FG-NP01 -Photometer for All-Round Microvolume Spectrophotometer

Full spectral analysis

The FastGene^® NanoSpec measures the absorption spectrum UV-VIS (190 nm–850 nm) in seconds using by array type spectrophotometer technology with Xenon lamp and CMOS sensor (2048 pixels).

Measurement modes and configuration

The designated factor of each of the 20 pre-configurated measurement modes is set as the default value, so that no adjustment is needed.

• Nucleic acids: dsDNA | ssDNA | RNA | miRNA | Customize*
• Protein UV: BSA | SA | IgB | IgE Human | Lysozyme | OD1 | Mol. Ect. Coeff. | Ext. Coeff.
• Protein assay: Bradford | Biuret Assay | BCA Assay | Lowry Assay
• More: Kintetics | OD600 | Photometric | Spectrum | ABS Ratio | Concentration | Quantification

*The input mode (‘Customize’) is provided to allow the users to set a factor value which is different from the default to enable maximal flexibility and specificity.

Software and menu navigation

The menu navigation of the FastGene^® NanoSpec is very simple and intuitive. The >20 preconfigurated measuring modes can directly be selected.

The input mode (‘Customize’) is provided to allow the users to set a factor value which is different from the default.
