Product Overview

The Genova is an efficient, high performance grating spectrophotometer designed for the busy molecular biologist. With RNA/DNA, oligonucleotide, protein and O.D. analysis software on board, results can be obtained quickly and accurately. In addition, the Genova is extremely versatile offering method storage, photometric operation, a selectable wavelength range of 198 to 1000nm, and scanning capabilities for purity. The on board software has in permanent memory, the wavelengths, calculations and factors necessary for analysis including the following:

Protein: Bradford, Lowry, Biuret, Biccinchonic, and direct UV

260/280 ratio and 260/230 ratio with correction by subtraction at a third wavelength and multiplication by factors

ssDNA, dsDNA, RNA, Oligonucleotides and OD 600

Also, a variable ratio mode allows the user to change the wavelengths and factors allowing for fine adjustment and greater accuracy. Optimized for low volume analysis the determination of DNA levels as low as 70ng with sample volumes as low as 50µl is possible using the 50ul masked quartz cuvette. This lightweight, compact analyzer can fit easily anywhere in the lab, while the 5-button keypad and the large LCD allow for effortless interfacing. The Genova self-calibrates at 3 wavelengths, assuring optimal operation every time it is turned on. With a single touch of the print key, results and G.L.P. compliant information can be printed or transferred to a PC, through the RS232 port. The Genova features a xenon lamp, which has the advantage of offering a broad spectral source with high-energy light throughout the wavelength range. The xenon lamp flashes at a high rate, extending lamp life and lowering operation costs. This innovative laboratory instrument is covered under a 3-year warranty*, and is priced to fit any laboratory budget. Request a Genova Demo (US only)
* The Xenon lamp is warranted for 12 months

Printing Genova reports and data

As a Good Laboratory Practice, a serial printer can be used with the Genova to print out reports and data. We suggest our Part No 7062828 which offers good performance at a low cost. There is a portable thermal printer (543 501) available to print data. Data and graphs can be transferred to the PC with the DataWay PC software. Expanded print options allow the printing of graph and table on separate sheets or together with either the graph or table on top. DataWay meets all of your lab needs: a single click transporting data to a spreadsheet for further manipulation, timed data logging and expanded print options is now possible.
