Designed to support your research
Are you performing real-time PCR, sequencing / NGS, or cloning experiments? Then the Colibri+ spectrophotometer will help you advance your research by supporting a broad range of applications:
- Determination of nucleic acid concentration and purity of nucleic acid samples without dilution
- Purified protein (A280) and labelled protein analysis
- Bradford, BCA and Lowry assays for protein quantification
- Cell density OD600 measurements
- Kinetics (Colibri+ C only)
- General UV-VIS spectrophotometry
Highlights
Fast measurement
- Read your samples in less than 3 seconds.
Reliable results
- CV of absorbance < 1%.
Broad detection range
- 2 – 20.000 ng/µL for dsDNA.
- 0.06 – 600 mg/mL for BSA.

Easy pipetting of the sample
The Sample Guide Light enables easy sample application and helps you to detect even the smallest air bubbles. As a result, the quality of the measurement is significantly improved.

Accurate and reproducible measurements
- Hydrophobic coating of sample window: The hydrophobic coating of the sample window supports the formation of a measuring column from the sample liquid after closing the detector arm.
- Shock-absorbing detector arm: The shock-absorbing detector arm reduces shocks during its closure. This supports accurate measurement of samples even as little as 1 µl with a CV of absorbance < 1%.
Wide spectral range
- Wide spectral range from 190 – 1.000 nm
- Benefit from more flexibility in the creation of custom protocols.
Path length flexibility
- Choose between the two path length options: 0.5 mm and 0.05 mm.
- Measure even highly concentrated samples without dilution.
- Cuvette option (Colibri+ C model only): with temperature control and stirring.
2 years warranty
