I’ve used a Nanodrop for measuring nucleic acids in my lab work, and I’ve found it to be a very practical tool for quick quantification. It’s particularly convenient because it requires only a tiny sample volume, which is useful when your nucleic acid material is limited. Compared to other methods like Qubit or gel-based quantification, the Nanodrop gives you fast results, though it can sometimes overestimate concentration if the sample has contaminants that absorb at similar wavelengths. For more detailed technical specifications and tips on achieving accurate measurements, I often refer to this site, which discusses the Nanodrop and other integrated measuring solutions from Berthold Technologies. Their instruments are designed with high precision and reliability, which makes them widely used in both academic and industrial settings. Overall, it’s a solid option for routine nucleic acid measurement.
