Pioneering pedestal technology

Simply pipet a drop of your DNA, RNA, or protein sample on the pedestal and pull down the arm; results appear in seconds

Advanced sample intelligence

By analyzing absorbance across the full spectrum, Acclaro Sample Intelligence software can identify contaminants and correct quantitation results before you use them in downstream applications

Rapid time to results

Results appear within seconds of initiating a measurement, and Auto-Blank and Auto-Measure settings can further streamline your workflow

Streamlined multi-sample processing

With instant Auto-Measure and Auto-Blank capabilities

Tiny sample sizes

Requires only 1–2 µL of sample without dilution, even for highly concentrated samples

Differentiates DNA from RNA

Acclaro software uses full-spectrum data to tease apart mammalian DNA from RNA and calculate corrected nucleic acid concentrations

Your dependable lab partner

Since their introduction in 2001, NanoDrop spectrophotometers have become indispensable in many labs, accumulating over 55,000 scientific citations

Expanded dynamic range

Measure from 1 ng/µL up to 27,500 ng/µL dsDNA or 0.02 mg/mL to 400 mg/mL IgG without dilution.

Optional Acclaro Pro software for accurate high concentration measurements

With the use of the optional Acclaro Pro software obtain absorbance measurements within 5% error up to 550 Abs (400 mg/mL IgG or 22,000 ng/µL ssDNA).

Diagnostic Scheduler

Use the built-in Diagnostic Schedule application to alert you when a diagnostic test is overdue, ensuring consistent performance of the instrument.

Cuvette option

Choose the NanoDrop Ultra or Ultra FL instrument for sample pedestal only or the NanoDrop Ultra^C or Ultra^C FL instrument for both pedestal and cuvette to expand the limit of detection to 0.2 ng/µL dsDNA or 0.006 mg/mL IgG.

Advanced cloud connectivity

Export data directly to popular Cloud storage services like Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive, and Thermo Fisher Connect.

Optional on-board SciVault 2 software for compliance

On-board Thermo Scientific SciVault 2 Software aids compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 electronic recordkeeping regulations with subsequent seamless integration into your LIMS environment using RESTful API directly on the local instrument. SciVault 2 software can also be installed on a connected computer if desired.

All-in-one absorbance and fluorescence analysis

The NanoDrop Ultra FL and NanoDrop Ultra^C FL instruments are capable of both UV-Vis spectroscopy and fluorometry. The capable NanoDrop Ultra dsDNA (BR/HS) and RNA (HS) Fluorescence Assays allow for a more sensitive quantification of dsDNA and RNA and can detect down to 0.2 ng/µL dsDNA. 

Wide spectral range

Measure the full UV-Vis spectrum from 190–850 nm, allowing a range of assays as shown in the table below

Routine and custom embedded applications

DNA, RNA, and protein quantification, full spectral data, purity ratios (A260/A280, A260/A230), and more

Local or PC control software

Operate your instrument from the glove-compatible touchscreen or your USB-connected PC, including custom methods and data export capabilities

Integrated qPCR Recipe Calculator

Fully integrated qPCR recipe calculator to save time, optimize efficiency, and achieve reliable downstream results with precise reaction setup.

Elevated Sample Insight

Software with the ability to differentiate between DNA and RNA for samples of mammalian, plant, and bacteria origin.
