Novaspec Plus is ideal for general biotech laboratory use. There are stored methods for the standard protein methods of Bradford, BCA, Biuret and Lowry in addition to the basic modes of absorbance, transmittance, OD600 and concentration measurements.

The use of diode array technology permits rapid wavelength scans to be made as well and, as there are no moving parts, make for a highly reliable and low maintenance product. 

The large back lit display enables the graphical results for wavelength scans, kinetics assays (including slope calculation for rate / activity studies) and standard curves to be viewed. Up to 99 methods for such experiments can be stored for instant recall and use by a laboratory assistant. The Novaspec Plus is delivered with Grafico, a PC utility software package, and the requisite serial lead, providing the user with the means to capture, print and store data from the instrument (with a time/date stamp) onto a PC so that a results log can be built up or data exported to Excel. The cell holder supplied with Novaspec Plus accepts standard 10mm pathlength glass or plastic cells (adapters are available to convert it to accept 10, 12 and 16mm diameter test tubes). It can be removed for cleaning - or flushed through with water in situ – if spillages occur.

For users who require who thermostatting, particularly for kinetics studies and use with test kits, a special version of Novaspec Plus is available with a factory fitted heated cell holder (37°C only); note that this cell holder cannot be added retrospectively.
