EzDrop 1000C Spectrophotometer
With EzDrop 1000C spectrophotometer, measurements of sample concentrations can be made within three seconds.
The unit offers two modes for microvolume and cuvette detection, as well as an intuitive touchscreen for easy operation. These features meet a variety of nucleic acid and protein quantification needs.
Specifications EzDrop 1000C
- Gold-standard precision at a competitive price
- 3-second measurement for DNA, RNA, and protein
- Works standalone or connects to PC
- Dual system for microvolumes and cuvettes
- Smart pipetting assist light for accurate placement
Spectrophotometer for Cuvette and Microvolumes
- Independent system with clear touchpad
- Multiple automated measurement functions allow you to quickly measure nucleic acids, proteins, cells, and other samples at the touch of a button.
- Sophisticated design: an additional light source compensates for the lack of ambient light and minimizes errors in sample placement
(LED Assist Light). - A special nano-hydrophobic layer on the sample window ensures the formation of a stable sample column.
- The sample glass can be completely replaced, significantly reducing the possibility of residual contamination
- CV absorbance value is <1%.
- The special design of the detection arm reduces pressure, which in turn reduces the error rate in experiments.
- Data exchange: USB connection (csv-file)
Application Areas
- Nucleic acid and protein analysis
- OD600 measurement
- Analysis of microarrays and labeled proteins
- KineticsFull spectrum scans

Does the EzDrop 1000C require a PC to operate?
EzDrop 1000C has a 7-inch high resolution touch panel from which operation can be easily carried out. It can also be operated and controlled from a PC.
What types of cuvettes can be used with the EzDrop 1000C?
Cuvette specification:
Width: 12.5 mm, Length: 12.5 mm, Height:45 mm, detection beam hight: 8.5 mm.
Check the material of the cuvette, if you would like to measure the UV range (190-340 nm), only a quartz cuvette or a UV-grade plastic cuvette can be used.
Each EzDrop 1000C comes with a 10 mm quartz cuvette.
How much volume is needed in the cuvette to make a measurement?
The beam hight of the cuvette holder in the EzDrop 1000C is 8.5 mm. Ensure that the sample in the cuvette extends beyond 8.5 mm in hight; the volume will vary depending on the cuvette´s specification.
For details, refer to the cuvette supplier´s instruction guide.
How do I clean a sample window that has dried sample residue on it?
Try distilled water. If this is not successful, use 70% ethanol on lint free paper. Wipe the sample window gently. Dry it with fresh lint-free paper. For more detail refer to the operation manual.
What is the lifetime of Xenon lamp?
The lifetime of the Xenon lamp is approximately 10^9 flashes, it can last for 10 years or more. Xenon lamp are very stable and the flash intensity changes very little over the lifetime of the lamp.
How long does the Nano hydrophobic coating on the quartz windows last?
At last 1 year. EzDrop 1000C has a maintenance kit (Cat No. T01-000182-00) to prolong the lifetime of the hydrophobic coating.
