UV/Visible Spectrophotometers and Precision Cuvettes for DNA Sampling

The use of DNA sampling continues to expand as scientific knowledge advances, and it now takes in the establishment of paternity and genealogy as well as being used in forensics and for proof of criminality. However, if these advances in technology are to serve any useful purpose, and in order to avoid the possibility of miscarriages of justice, accuracy is of paramount importance.

UV/Visible Spectrophotometers in DNA Sampling

The precision and reliability of the Camspec M500 series of UV/Visible Spectrophotometers continues to meet the exacting demands of scientists, biochemists and laboratory technicians around the world. When used in conjunction with products such as the Hellma TrayCell, the accuracy of this range of instruments is particularly well suited to the task of DNA sampling, since the TrayCell is specifically designed for the accurate measurement of extremely small samples (0.7 – 5µl) of DNA/RNA or protein.

Camspec’s M500 series of scanning UV/Visible Spectrophotometers includes the M501 single beam instrument which shares many components and features with the M550 high performance model. The M550 European Pharmacopoeia 5.2 compliant instrument is a true double beam spectrophotometer with parallel sample and reference beams.

High Precision Cuvettes

With more than 80 years of experience, Hellma is recognised as the world leader in the manufacture of high precision cuvettes from various types of glass and quartz, whilst Camspec is the UK’s leading specialist supplier of UV/Visible Spectrophotometers.
