NanoPhotometer N60-Mobile: High-Performance Portable Microvolume Analysis
The NanoPhotometer N60-Mobile is the ultimate solution for researchers requiring laboratory-grade UV/Vis analysis in a fully portable format. Combining the precision of the N60 series with a high-capacity integrated battery pack, this unit allows for high-accuracy nucleic acid and protein quantification anywhere—from field sites to laminar flow hoods. It addresses the need for mobility without compromising on the patented technical standards that define the NanoPhotometer range.
Technical performance is driven by the Dual Scan Slit Design (DSDMA), which provides a fixed optical path that never requires recalibration. This “maintenance-free” design is particularly vital for a mobile instrument, as it remains impervious to the vibrations and movements associated with transport. The system features a built-in 7-inch touchscreen for stand-alone operation and can provide up to 8 hours of cordless functionality, ensuring your workflow remains uninterrupted by power constraints.
Key Benefits:
- Complete Portability: 8-Hour Integrated Battery. Enables professional-grade quantification in any location without the need for a mains power connection.
- Maintenance-Free Optics: Permanent Calibration. The fixed optical path design eliminates moving parts, ensuring the device remains accurate after transport.
- Extensive Detection Range: Versatile Sample Analysis. Quantifies dsDNA from 1 ng/µl to 16,500 ng/µl with high photometric reproducibility.
- Stand-Alone Interface: No PC Required. Manage protocols and analyze data directly on the glove-compatible touchscreen for a streamlined workflow.
- DSDMA Technology: Sample Integrity. Compressed sample technology prevents evaporation during measurement, even in challenging environmental conditions.

Selecting Your Implen NanoPhotometer
Choosing the correct NanoPhotometer depends on your laboratory’s specific throughput needs and sample types. All units feature the patented DSDMA (Dual Scan Slit Design) technology, which provides a fixed optical path. Unlike other microvolume spectrophotometers that use moving pedestals and liquid column stretching—often leading to measurement drift—the Implen range is completely maintenance-free, ensuring your data remains accurate year after year without hidden service costs.
For standard DNA/RNA quantification, the N50 series offers robust performance for common concentration ranges. If your work involves very dilute samples or requires full mobility, the N60 series provides enhanced sensitivity and an optional battery-powered Mobile version. For labs requiring multi-functional analysis, the NP80 hybrid system includes a temperature-controlled cuvette port for kinetics and cell density measurements. Finally, the N120 is the premier choice for high-throughput environments, allowing for the simultaneous measurement of 12 samples using a multichannel pipette.
