Product Overview
The Labtronics LT‑3100 Biophotometer is a next‑generation micro‑volume analysis system designed to meet the fast‑paced demands of today’s molecular biology and life science laboratories. With a footprint that fits effortlessly on any bench and features tailored for high‑throughput workflows, it offers a perfect balance of precision, speed, and ease of use.
Engineered for DNA, RNA & Protein Analysis
Unlike conventional spectrophotometers, the LT‑3100 is optimized for nucleic acid and protein quantification. Its fixed wavelengths—230 nm, 260 nm, and 280 nm—allow rapid assessment of sample integrity. Researchers can easily determine purity ratios such as A260/A280 and A260/A230, critical for confirming that DNA or RNA is free of protein or chemical contaminants before sensitive downstream applications like PCR, qPCR, sequencing, or cloning.
Micro‑Volume Accuracy & Time Savings
The LT‑3100 requires only 1–2 microliters of sample, preserving scarce or precious materials while reducing reagent costs. Its high‑resolution optics deliver results in under five seconds per sample, making it ideal for labs aiming to maximize throughput. Built‑in micro‑cuvette technology eliminates additional accessories, streamlining the workflow and keeping your workspace clutter‑free.
User‑Friendly Operation
A bright LCD display with intuitive touch controls lets users navigate pre‑installed methods or customize their own. Whether estimating protein via Bradford or BCA assays or evaluating RNA quality, the LT‑3100 guides technicians through every step with minimal training required. The interface supports multiple users, customizable parameters, and easy retrieval of saved methods.
Reliable Data & Compliance
The instrument offers data logging, USB export, and PC/printer connectivity, making it easy to maintain audit‑ready records. For labs working under GLP or GMP standards, this biophotometer simplifies documentation and enhances traceability.
Durable, Compact & Low Maintenance
Its chemical‑resistant housing and robust internal components ensure longevity and reliability even under daily heavy use. Maintenance is minimal, and cleaning is straightforward, allowing your team to focus on science, not upkeep.
