DU® 800 UV/Vis Spectrophotometer

DU® 800 UV/Vis Spectrophotometer

The DU 800 UV/Visible Spectrophotometer is a scanning instrument with a bandwith of less than or equal to 1.8 nm and a wavelength range from 190 to 1100 nm.

All instruments include: DU 800 Windows 2000-Based System Control, RediScan™, RediRead™, Wavelength Scan, Fixed Wavelength (up to 12 wavelengths), Kinetics/Time (12 reactions), Single Component Analysis, Nucleic Acid Analysis (Ratios), Performance Validation, Full Support of 21 CFR Part 11 (Electronic Records; Electronic Signature), and Start-Up Diagnostics.

Additional software applications are available and may be added to the system.  (See Software Options).

The DU 800 is a customer-installed spectrophotometer and System Installation should be ordered separately (except when service installation is applicable).

DU 800 UV/Vis Spectrophotometers are available with and without PC and Display. When ordered with the Beckman Coulter-supplied PC System, the DU 800 System and Applications Software is pre-installed and the system is ready to use.

When the PC is not ordered with the spectrophotometer, it is the responsibility of the customer to furnish a compatible PC with monitor and to supply and install Microsoft* Windows* 2000 as well as the DU 800 System and Applicaitons Software, which is included with the spectrophotometer.

nanoVette Microliter Measurement Cell 

Allows your Beckman Coulter spectrophotometer to work with sample sizes as small as 0.7 µL. Perfect for DNA and Protein applications where small sample size is critical, the nanoVette provides the additional advantage of not requiring dilution of the sample. The same size as a standard cuvette, installs and removes simply into the DU spectrophotometer and measures dsDNA concentrations up to 5,000 ng/µL.
