A Note from Professor Beer

Not with complexity or guesswork, but with precise, accurate, and reliable measurements that give you confidence in your results.

By measuring how light interacts with your sample, UV/Vis helps verify concentration, assess purity, and support consistent quality control across your workflow.

Simple. Dependable. Reproducible.

Let me walk you through it.

Everything we do here rests on a simple relationship. Absorbance, concentration, and path length — connected through what is known as the Beer-Lambert Law. It is a principle that underlies much of what we do — often without needing to be stated explicitly. The name, as you might expect, is not entirely accidental.

Scientific Publications

Since the first NanoPhotometer® was launched in 2006, thousands of researchers around the globe have selected the instrument as their preferred microvolume UV-Vis spectrophotometer to quality control their precious samples in the labs. The first publication citing the NanoPhotometer® has been available in November of 2006, only six months after the first unit has been delivered, describing the benefits of the instrument in a protocol to properly analyze nucleic acids in a drop.

With more than peer-reviewed scientific publications, the NanoPhotometer® today is a well-established universal quality control tool for all areas of Life Sciences applications to ensure an optimized workflow in research, development, and production facilities around the globe.
