Collection: Spectrophotometers & Fluorometers
Spectrophotometers & Fluorometers for Sale - New and Refurbished | mLab Supply
Spectrophotometers and fluorometers measure the absorbance, transmittance, and fluorescence of samples for quantification of nucleic acids, proteins, enzymes, and small molecules. mLab Supply sources new, refurbished, and surplus UV-Vis spectrophotometers, microvolume instruments, and fluorometers from leading manufacturers.
Related Detection Equipment
- Microplate Readers - High-throughput absorbance and fluorescence detection in 96/384-well format
- Analytical Balances - Gravimetric sample preparation for spectrophotometric assays
Common Use Cases
- Nucleic acid quantification (DNA, RNA, oligonucleotides)
- Protein quantification (BCA, Bradford, A280)
- Enzyme kinetics and activity assays
- Cell density measurement (OD600)
- Fluorescence-based assays and dye quantification
What to Look For
- Wavelength range: Standard UV-Vis covers 190-1100 nm; confirm range for your application
- Sample volume: Microvolume instruments (NanoDrop-style) require as little as 1-2 µL; cuvette-based units require 500 µL+
- Scanning vs. fixed wavelength: Scanning instruments offer full spectrum analysis; fixed-wavelength units are faster for routine measurements
- Fluorescence capability: Dedicated fluorometers offer higher sensitivity than UV-Vis instruments with fluorescence modules
