Frequently asked questions
Does the NanoDrop 2000 need cuvettes?
No — its surface-tension sample retention holds the sample between two optical surfaces, so no cuvettes or dilution are required.
How much sample does it need?
It works with very small (microvolume) samples, which is what makes it fast for routine nucleic-acid and protein checks.
