The NanoDrop 3300 is a broad spectrum, high performance fluorospectrometer designed for measurement of picogram quantities of DNA, RNA and protein in sample microvolumes as small as 1ml. It provides fast measurement times (<10 seconds), broad wavelength range (400-750nm), and the detection of multiple fluorophores within a sample with a spectral resolution of 8nm without the need to change filters.

Further information is available through the Thermofisher website – Specification sheets

Internal users can book the equipment using the shared ‘BIOSI - NanoDrop 3300' Outlook calendar.

Find out how to book through Outlook.

The booking will be reviewed and then accepted by a member of Bioimaging Unit staff or an alternative time/date proposed.

Please keep to your allotted booking time. You will be charged for the time that you have reserved the instrument for, irrespective of usage. The minimum booking time is 1 hour.

Cancellations should be made at least 24 hours in advance. If you fail to turn up for a booking you will still be charged.
