Expand your research to include larger volumes using the built-in cuvette port. (Accepts standard 10 mm cuvettes)
Large, high-resolution touch-screen interface with pre-configured analysis methods in your choice of five languages.
Quantitate samples as small as 0.5 μL. Work with multiple samples quickly with one-swipe cleaning.
Easily export your data to a USB Drive for additional analysis in the program of your choice.
Bitterness of the samples was measured according to the protocol in the Methods section. Bitterness was calculated by multiplying the A275 values by 50 (n = 3).
FAN levels were measured using the protocol described in the methods section (n = 3).
Phenol-contaminated samples and an uncontaminated control were assayed using the Wavescan function. Wavescan traces were graphed and overlaid using Microsoft Excel. There is a definitive increase in absorbance at the 230 nm mark.
Sample carryover. Alternating measurements of calf thymus DNA and water were performed on the micro-volume port. Data were graphed on Excel. The data comprising this graph are shown in Table 1.

Beer Bitterness Analysis
Free Amino Nitrogen Analysis
Beer analysis using the QuickDropUV-Vis Spectrophotometer
Beer is one of the world’s most popular beverages, and it can be dated back as early as 6000 BCE from Sumerian artifacts. Over time, the brewing process has become much more complex. Brewers must have excellent quality control processes to ensure a high-quality and consistent taste for all their batches.
Below, we examined color, bitterness, and free-amino nitrogen levels (FAN’s) in four different beers on the SpectraMax® QuickDrop™ Micro-Volume Spectrophotometer. These attributes are commonly measured during and after the brewing process to assess beer quality and troubleshoot potential problems.

Nucleic acid quantitation and analysis using the QuickDrop Spectrophotometer
Spectrophotometry is a well-establishedtechnique used to quantitate and analyze biological substances. Of these substances, nucleic acids are one of the most routinely measured in life science laboratories. Determining the concentration and purity of the sesamples is extremely important for many downstream experiments such as PCR, qPCR, sequencing, and DNA microarrays.
Below, we demonstrate how the QuickDrop spectrophotometer can both quantitatively (concentration) and qualitatively (sample purity) analyze nucleic acid samples with great accuracy and consistency.
