SECTION 1 - Introduction
INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION 1.1
The Genova Plus is a UV/visible spectrophotometer dedicated to life science analysis. This
spectrophotometer allows the measurement of DNA concentrations and purity ratios using
wavelengths recorded at 260, 280 and 230nm, with an optional correction at 320nm.The Genova Plus
is pre-programmed with Bradford, Lowry, Biuret, BCA and Direct UV methods for protein analysis. The
Genova Plus has an OD measurement mode enabling users to measure optical density at 600nm for
cell harvesting. The purity scan across the entire wavelength range from 198 to 1000nm displays any
distorted peaks enabling impurities to be easily identified.
This life science spectrophotometer uses icon driven software and has an improved navigation
system for easy and intuitive usability. As well as the dedicated life science measurement modes
this instrument can also be used as a standard spectrophotometer with measurement modes for
photometrics, concentration, multi-wavelength, spectrum scanning, quantitation and kinetics.
