Inside the DeNovix DS-11: Next Generation 1uL Sample Technology

DeNovix SmartPath® Technology allows the DeNovix DS-11 microvolume spectrophotometer to deliver reliable 1uL sample results every time. The instrument utilises opto-mechanical components and proprietary algorithms that together provide precise pathlength control and deliver performance unmatched by any microvolume spectrophotometer.

SmartPath Technology saves labs time and money while helping scientists to expand their research. 

The DS-11 does not require routine recalibration.  The expense and downtime associated with calibration service is avoided.

Small volume samples, including proteins, can be measured reliably and with confidence.  The DS-11’s measurement sequence starts at a pathlength of 500 microns (0.500 mm) and only reduces the pathlength during the measurement process.  The liquid column is not stretched during analysis to reduce the potential of column breakage for samples of low surface tension fluids like purified proteins.

Single sample measurements on the DS-11 cover the broadest dynamic range (0.04 - 500 AU at 1 cm equivalent) of any microvolume spectrophotometer.  For example, no dilutions or additional measurements are necessary to obtain results for samples with concentrations ranging from 2.0 - 25,000 ng/µL dsDNA or 0.10 - 750 mg/ml BSA.

Receive your results in 4 seconds.  Pipette a sample and then touch the screen to take a measurement.  Optionally, choose the even-easier ‘Auto-Run’ mode to automatically start a measurement when the sample arm has been lowered into position.
