The BioMate 3S is a highly configurable instrument, adaptable to the needs of the lab. A variety of accessories adds convenience and provides Peltier temperature control, automation, and fiber optic sampling.
Hardware Designed for Performance
- Improved, 1.8nm spectral bandwidth is compliant with worldwide Pharmacopeia requirements, allowing research quality measurements with routine simplicity
- Patented optical design provides a compact, high-performance dual-beam system with very few moving parts
- Xenon lamp gives balanced light over the full instrument wavelength range of 190 to 1100nm
- Dual-beam optical system includes an internal reference detector and offers significant advantages over a single beam or diode array instruments, including compensation for lamp intensity changes, better performance for kinetics, and better long-term stability
Software Enhanced Flexibility
- Embedded software provides pre-programmed assays for RNA/DNA concentration or purity estimation, protein concentrations, cell growth, kinetics, or routine measurements
- For more intense applications, optional application software programs allow more sophisticated data collection, analysis, and reporting
Time-Saving Bioanalysis Software
- Pre-programmed assays deliver fast, accurate results
- Built-in assays for nucleic acid concentration and purity estimations, protein concentration, and cell growth at 600nm
- Flexible Oligo calculator feature for calculating molecular weight, theoretical Tm and Oligo concentration factor
- Other standard applications include single and multicell kinetics, wavelength scanning, and user-defined fixed wavelength measurements
BioMate 3S
- Unit is ideal for DNA/RNA and protein analysis
- Optional built-in 3 in. (7.6cm) graphical printer shows test parameters, graph, and data
- Optional automatic six-position cell holder speeds up cell growth measurements or standard curve preparations
Pre-programmed life science assays include:
- Nucleic acid ratio and concentration (260/280 and 260/230)
- Direct protein concentration at 280nm and 205nm
- Coomassie*/Bradford (Standard and Micro)
- Lowry
- BCA
- Pierce Micro-BCA
- Pierce 660nm Protein Assay
- Cell growth (with scaling factor)
- Kinetics
Warranty and Service Offering: One year on instrument; lamp is warranted for three years of continuous use.
