Info from company website:
hermo Scientific NanoDrop 8000 UV-Vis Spectrophotometers are used in academic, biopharmaceutical, core and bioproduction facilities, to measure between 1 and 8 microvolume nucleic acid and protein samples simultaneously. The patented sample retention system allows you to assess the concentration and purity of samples as small as 1µL, while the multi sample capability allows you to analyze samples more efficiently.
