BioDrop low volume cuvette launched Mar 26, 2012BioDrop, a revolutionary microvolume cuvette provides a robust, accurate and affordable approach to low volume spectroscopy. BioDrop's simple but elegant patent pending design has the same dimensions as a conventional cuvette but is manufactured in two halves that are held together using magnets. The precision machining guarantees that the path length is accurate to within a few microns. Its simple optical layout provides very high energy throughput which ensures that highly accurate measurements can be made over a wide dynamic range and, unlike alternative methods, only one path length is required for most experiments..
