Merck Millipore Direct Detect Spectrometer

• Protein concentration determination in research and development settings.
• Quality control of protein solutions in biopharmaceutical production.
• Monitoring protein purification steps in laboratory environments.
• Analysis of protein samples in academic and industrial research labs.

Typical measurement range

For this class of equipment, protein quantification typically ranges from 0.1 to 200 mg/mL.

Measurement technology

Units of this type commonly utilise infrared spectroscopy for direct protein quantification.

Sample volume

Typically, very small sample volumes, often in the microlitre range, are required for analysis.

Power supply

Commonly operates on standard laboratory power, typically 100-240V AC, 50/60 Hz.

Throughput

For this class of equipment, measurements are typically fast, often taking only a few seconds per sample.

Footprint

Units are generally compact benchtop devices, suitable for most laboratory spaces.

• What types of proteins can be analysed?

  This type of spectrometer is generally suitable for a wide range of proteins, as it directly measures peptide bonds rather than relying on specific amino acid residues or dyes.

• Does this unit require calibration?

• What maintenance is typically involved?

• Can this spectrometer be integrated with other lab systems?

• Is specific software required to operate this unit?

Spectrophotometers remain valued across research, QA and diagnostics for their precision and reliability. Buyers typically prioritise wavelength range, optical bench condition and calibration history when purchasing used units. These instruments generally perform consistently when properly maintained. Common strengths include straightforward operation, durability of core optical components, and wide availability of compatible software. Prospective buyers should verify calibration certificates and request functional testing data before purchase.
