NANO X1 · Micro-volume spectrophotometer
One drop.
Its full spectrum.
The NANO X1 micro-volume spectrophotometer is primarily used to quantify nucleic acid and protein concentrations and assess purity in precious biological samples. It also provides a complete absorption spectrum in a single measurement, serving as a foundational instrument for life science research, drug development and clinical research. Using the established liquid-column method, NANO X1 supports a complete measurement with as little as 1 µL. Optional fluorescence and cuvette modules extend the platform to fluorescence quantification, kinetics and bacterial culture OD600 measurements. With STORM OS, analysis and reporting are performed on the instrument, with one-step export via email, USB drives and other supported methods.

One drop.
That's enough.
A sample volume of 2 µL is recommended; the routine minimum is 1 µL, with as little as 0.5 µL for some high-concentration samples.
Lower the arm.
Start measuring.
With automatic measurement enabled, lowering the sample arm starts the measurement. A single measurement takes approximately 6–10 seconds.
The sample contacts only the quartz optical-fiber end faces and stainless steel. Wipe the surfaces with lint-free tissue after measurement and keep them clean.
The right path length.
Selected automatically.
1.00mm
From 1 mm to 0.02 mm, STORM OS automatically selects a suitable mechanical path length for the sample concentration and completes the measurement, without manual intervention.
Performance powered by
the EVO RAY spectrometer
EVO RAY is the core spectrometer component of NANO X1. It uses a C-T reflective optical configuration, a 2048-pixel linear CCD and 16 bit A/D conversion. Its wavelength range is 190–1000 nm; the delivered specification is confirmed for the selected configuration.
