Merck - Millipore Direct Detect Spectrometer

Applications & Use Cases

• Protein concentration determination in research and development settings.
• Quality control of protein solutions in biopharmaceutical production.
• Monitoring protein purification steps in laboratory environments.
• Analysis of protein samples in academic and industrial research labs.

Typical Specifications

Typical measurement range

For this class of equipment, protein quantification typically ranges from 0.1 to 200 mg/mL.

Measurement technology

Units of this type commonly utilise infrared spectroscopy for direct protein quantification.

Sample volume

Typically, very small sample volumes, often in the microlitre range, are required for analysis.

Power supply

Commonly operates on standard laboratory power, typically 100-240V AC, 50/60 Hz.

Throughput

For this class of equipment, measurements are typically fast, often taking only a few seconds per sample.

Footprint

Units are generally compact benchtop devices, suitable for most laboratory spaces.
