Product Description
The Yamato PiCOEXPLORER portable spectrophotometer, weighing just over 200g, is a sleek, compact, and highly sensitive portable spectrophotometer that enables efficient concentration measurement analysis. Built with intuitive bluetooth connectivity, the PiCOEXPLORER portable spectrophotometer allows you to easily control the unit from your mobile device for uninterrupted workflow and increased productivity. In addition, improve your data management with seamless data transfer between your PiCOEXPLORER and your smartphone or tablet.
The Yamato PiCOEXPLORER portable spectrophotometer also allows you to take concentration measurements efficiently from unopened PCR tubes. It eliminates the use of pipettes for reduced labor, time, and contamination risks for applications with single PCR sample measurements.
Operation and features
- Palm-size portable spectrophotometer made of silicon resin (PDMS)
- The highly sensitive yet extremely compact design of PiCOEXPLORER is a result of the breakthrough Silicone Optical Technology (SOT)
- Smarter data management
Measurement results can be verified on a smart phone or tablet by downloading a special application that uses bluetooth communication
Raw data (absorbance, concentration, intensity) can be output to a PC in excel format for easy data processing
- Measurements can be taken directly from unopened PCR tubes, preventing contamination risk and sample loss
Applications
- Measurement of bacterial turbidity
- Quantification of protein (BCA method, Bradford method)
- Measurement of antioxidant activity
- Amino acid measurement (ninhydrin method)
- Quantification of glucose
- Environmental water analysis
- Analysis of heavy metals
7 Applications Where Portable Spectrophotometers are More Accurate, Productive, Frugal, and Fun.
There are inefficiencies inherent in every lab instrument that needs to spend its entire working life in one location.
Your benchtop spectrophotometer might be one of them. There are at least 7 applications where portable spectrophotometers are more accurate, more productive, more frugal, and more fun.
