NanoDrop spectrophotometry is particularly used for quality control of DNA, RNA, proteins, or other biomolecules before more in-depth analysis.
What is NanoDrop spectrophotometry?
NanoDrop spectrophotometry is an UV-Visible measurement technique performed on volumes of just a few microliters. By analyzing the sample’s absorbance at different wavelengths, it quickly determines its concentration and assesses its purity level.
Why perform a NanoDrop analysis?
It is particularly used to:
- measure a sample’s concentration
- check its purity
- detect possible contamination
- control the quality of an extract before further analysis
- reduce the risk of failure in downstream analysis
What types of samples can be analyzed?
Which techniques is NanoDrop complementary to?
NanoDrop is generally a preliminary step before other analysis.
At the FILAB laboratory, it can be combined with different techniques depending on your needs, including:
- chromatography (HPLC, LC-MS/MS) for certain applications
- biomolecule characterization
