The Biowave DNA has been specifically designed for life science applications and is a powerful tool for the laboratory that requires a dedicated instrument for the determination of nucleic acid purity and concentration, protein concentrations or cell density measurements.     
     
The system utilises Novel Optics for high energy throughput, a Xenon light source for long lamp lifetimes together with simple selection software and large graphical display for ease of use and data interpretation. The stored methods include   DNA, RNA and oligonucleotide calculations, protein assays such as direct UV measurement, BCA, Biuret, Bradford and Lowry and cell density measurement.   Unlike many dedicated life science instruments the Biowave DNA can also measure Absorbance or concentration at any wavelength so there is complete flexibility for future applications.     
     
For added convenience it is possible to display a scan of the nucleic acid profile which is particularly useful for RNA samples where impurities may be present in the 230 nm region, yet not have an adverse effect on the 260/280 Absorbance ratio. The system is compatible with both Quartz and disposable low volume UV cuvettes.      
     
Results may be printed to an optional integrated high quality graphical printer for permanent record or exported via USB cable connection or SD Card to a suitable PC running optional Print Via Computer (PVC) software for advanced reporting or data storage.
