The SmartDrop XF NS1020 pairs a full-spectrum 200–800 nm absorbance spectrophotometer with a blue-excitation fluorometer for low-concentration DNA work. Path lengths of 0.05, 0.2 and 1.0 mm extend the absorbance range to 0.04–300 A (10 mm equivalent), reading dsDNA up to 15,000 ng/µL and BSA up to 360 mg/mL from 0.5–2.0 µL samples. The fluorometer excites at 460 ± 20 nm, collects 525–570 nm emission and detects dsDNA down to 0.5 pg/µL. A 7-inch touch screen runs the instrument without a PC.
