The Beckman DU-640 Spectrophotometer is a complete UV/Vis spectrophotometry unit capable analyzing samples in single-cell cuvettes using multiple program settings including fixed wavelength, wavelength scanning, scatter correction, net A, time-based kinetic/rate determination, subtraction/addition, and spectra manipulation.
Applications include:
- Quantitative Total Protein Analysis
- Nucleic Acid Determination
- Enzyme Mechanism
- Single Component Quantitative Analysis
- Multicomponent Analysis by Full Spectrum Quantitation (FSQT)
- Performance Validation
The Beckman DU-640i Spectrophotometer micro-focused beam technology provides precise and accurate results for samples as small as 5uL. The micro-focused beam delivers the full energy of the beam to the microsample, unlike standard beams, which can lose as much as 80% of their energy when applied to a microvolume sample. UV and Vis lamps used with this instrument also have power switches that work independently from that of the system.
