Measurement Basics
Thermo Scientific
The NanoDrop Lite Plus spectrophotometer uses surface tension to hold a small
volume of sample between two pedestals. The patented sample retention system
enables the measurement of highly concentrated samples without the need for
dilutions. A fiber optic cable embedded in the upper pedestal leads to a xenon light
source. A second cable embedded in the lower pedestal leads to a detector. When
the instrument arm is down, the sample forms a liquid column, essentially bridging
the gap between the two fiber optic cables.
Raise the arm and pipette the sample onto the lower pedestal.
1. Lower the arm and initiate a measurement.
The sample column is automatically drawn between the upper and lower
pedestals and the measurement is made.
2. When the measurement is complete, raise the arm and wipe the sample from
both the upper and lower pedestals using a dry, lint-free laboratory wipe.
Tip Simple wiping with a dry laboratory wipe is sufficient to prevent sample
carryover in subsequent measurements.
