Biotechnology Instrumentation
Microspectrophotometers are used to analyze biotechnology products by reflectance, absorbance and fluorescence
Microspectra
UV-visible-NIR microscopy and microspectroscopy for analysis of biotechnology.
Biotechnology applies the principles of technology to biology: where the technological products and organisms are derived from biology and agricultural sciences. Products resulting from biotechnology research are used in three major areas: agriculture, biofuels and environmental applications. As such, biotechnology ranges from microarrays where thousands or millions of tests can be conducted on a single device simultaneously to bioengineering and bioremediation.
Due to the microscopic volumes of the materials to be analyzed, microspectrophotometers are the perfect tool. Able to analyze micro-scale volumes by absorption, reflectance or even fluorescence, these tools are easy-to-use and very accurate. Their flexibility and accuracy make them very importance for analyzing everything from genetically engineered organisms to sophisticated microarrays.
