The Genova is designed for the
scientist whose primary interest is the study of DNA and
proteins. Operation is simple and quick, with all routinely
used DNA calculations being pre-programmed into the product.
The Genova employs a precision built diffraction grating to
select wavelengths and narrow bandwidth, thus avoiding the
limited capability of filter based units. Three independent
wavelength calibrations are performed during the start-up
protocol to guarantee optimum confidence in results and to
satisfy G.L.P. procedures.
DNA ANALYSIS
Optimised for low volume analysis the
determination of DNA levels as low as 70ng with sample
volumes as low as 20µl is possible using the capillary
sampling accessory. The Genova will automatically calculate
ratios at 260/280 or 260/230 with an optional subtraction of
a third wavelength (typically 320nm). Alternatively,
pre-programmed factors allow direct readings of ssDNA,
dsDNA, RNA and Oligonucleotides
PROTEIN ANALYSIS
Genova Life
Science Analyser - Protein
-
Standard pre-programmed parameters for B.C.A, Bradford,
Biuret, Lowry and direct measurement
-
Storage of calibration curves
-
Versatile open architecture that allows other
wavelengths and accessories for other assays to be
performed
The
on-board software allows all protein methodologies to be
optimised and run on the Genova with a minimum of set-up
time. These methodologies can then be viewed on the display
for easy interpretation of linearity of response. The Genova
has the versatility to change these parameters easily for
the scientist who wants to optimise their analyisis with
different wavelength, curve or constant.
DIRECT PHOTOMETRIC MODE
For modes
of operation where DNA or protein analysis is not required
the Genova can be used in direct photometric mode. In this
mode concentration, with a choice of units, as well as the
absorbance, transmission and wavelength are displayed.
