DS-8X Eight Channel Spectrophotometer

Why Choose the DS-8X?

DeNovix takes high throughput spectrophotometry to a new level of performance with the DS-8X Eight Channel Spectrophotometer. This easy-to-use, stand-alone device delivers full spectrum UV-Vis analysis, making it ideal for rapid nucleic acid and protein quantification.

The DeNovix Difference: SmartQC™ Sample Assurance

The DS-8X employs a suite of quality assurance features to ensure reliable and accurate microvolume measurements. Proprietary DeNovix SmartPath™ technology uses micron-level pathlength control and immediate absorbance feedback. The measurement pathlength for every sample is automatically optimized through continuous sample compression.

Bridge Testing™ verification eliminates unreliable results that stem from broken sample columns or loading issues. The algorithm detects unbridged samples and adjusts in real-time to deliver accurate results, even for challenging 1 µL protein samples.

Automatically Optimized for Every Sample
Multiple algorithms ensure confidence in results while also providing important information about possible sample anomalies.
