Genesys 10S Vis & 10S UV-Vis NS BioMate 3S spectrophotometers

Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Genesys 10S Vis, Genesys 10S UV-Vis and BioMate 3S spectrophotometers have been designed to deliver high-quality data for both research and routine analysis. The models offer local instrument control with embedded software that is simple and straightforward for routine samples, yet also has functionality for more demanding analysis.

The Genesys 10S spectrophotometers provide solutions for a multitude of laboratory requirements including wavelength scanning, qualitative analysis, kinetics and fixed wavelength measurements. Built on the sample platform, the BioMate 3S incorporates the same hardware, but adds the flexibility of built-in biological test methods.

The 10S instruments feature increased scanning performance, which improves the time it takes to acquire high-quality data. Faster scanning results from improved electronics allow users to acquire scan data at speeds up to 4200 nm/min.

Compact in design, the instruments deliver a space-efficient solution; a front panel USB port allows for unlimited method and data storage on memory devices. The instruments also benefit from USB connectivity to external printers and a computer for enhanced flexibility. For added convenience, the spectrophotometers incorporate an easy-to-read LCD which is backlit for lower power usage and a longer life. The user-friendly embedded software is driven from an integrated, chemical-resistant keypad. The easy-to-learn embedded software enables rapid method set-up. Customised methods can be stored for later use, allowing for complete customisation saving the user time.

The BioMate 3S offers cost-effective analysis of life science samples. Enhanced 1.8 nm resolution and a long-life xenon light source provide suitable measurement resolution for life science measurements and a lower cost of ownership. No warm-up time is required, meaning that measurements are obtained instantly and samples are not continuously exposed to UV light. Also, the xenon lamp does not warm over time like conventional sources, keeping the temperature in the sample compartment stable for kinetics measurements. The BioMate 3S includes preconfigured test methods for nucleic acid, protein and cell growth measurements.
