The AQ-07 is ideal for the rapid and reliable quantification of dsDNA, ssDNA, RNA, and, proteins. Additionally, the AQ-07 is ideal for determining sample purity using the 260/280nm purity method.
This handy measuring device with small and compact dimensions will fit easily into today¡¯s crowded lab space. By combining a large LCD screen with an ergonomically designed keypad, any untrained personnel will be able to use the AQ-07 immediately out of the box. Taking measurements is as simply as plugging in the AQ-07 then selecting a method from the home screen. The AQ-07 is preprogrammed with methods for:
Unlike other devices used for the quantification of DNA, RNA, and protein, the AQ-07 uses light emitting diodes (LED). The AQ-07 uses a 260nm LED for measuring ssDNA, dsDNA, and RNA. For the quantitation of protein, a 280nm LED is used. When taking purity measurements requiring the 260/280 method, both LEDs are utilized. The value of using LEDs for these methods include; long lifetime without the need for replacement, low heat production shielding samples from degradation, and high photometric precision. The AQ-07 has a reading range from 0.0 to 4.3 OD allowing measurements of less than 1ug/mL ds DNA.
