There is no warning regarding the maximum value, but the system displays the maximum saturated value. ##### What about the solvent compatibility of the NanoSpec photometer? Will chlorophyll extracts in acetone and chloroform damage the sample compartment when using the base? Organic solvents such as acetone and chloroform are highly volatile and cannot be loaded on the pedestal, so experiments cannot be performed using the pedestal. In addition, if the solvent falls on or gets onto the black rubber around the pedestal, it may damage the rubber. The solvent that can be used with the pedestal is an aqueous solution. Organic solvents are difficult to use. It is recommend to use the cuvette mode for measuring these samples. ### Downloads & Service ##### Service for customers ##### [REgister your instrument](https://www.nippongenetics.eu/en/instrument-registration/) ###### Activate our exclusive service now & enjoy your benefits - **Priority access** to latest software updates - **Fast line** to our expert service team - **Sneak peak** at new features and accessories [More information](https://www.nippongenetics.eu/en/instrument-registration/) ##### Manual [Manual | FastGene NanoSpec Photometer | FG-NP01](https://www.nippongenetics.eu/app/uploads/manual-fastgene-nanospec-photometer-fg-np01.pdf) ##### Flyer [Flyer FastGene NanoSpec Photometer](https://www.nippongenetics.eu/app/uploads/2021/06/fg-np01-nanospec-photometer-flyer.pdf) ### Rated **5** out of 5 based on 1 customer rating 1 review for FastGene NanoSpec Spectrophotometer 1. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/045ce081e26bebc864f36cdc8b90d3771382900ae4d1710e61b0d5dfab3a693d?s=60&d=mm&r=g)Rated **5** out of 5 **Franz Leißing, Peter-Bruckmann-Schule Heilbronn** – 26.03.2025 Wir nutzen seit 2 Jahren das FastGene® NanoSpec Photometer in der Ausbildung biotechnologischer Assistent\*innen. Die einfache Bedienung, die handliche Bauweise und zuverlässige Messung überzeugt nicht nur uns Lehrkräfte sondern auch unsere Schüler. Auch der Wechsel der Räumlichkeiten ist durch die leichte Bauweise kein Problem. Wir nutzen das Photometer hauptsächlich zu Quantifizierung von DNA (Mikrovolumen) und Proteinen (Küvetten – Bradford-Assay und A280). Die Messungen sind zuverlässig und gut reproduzierbar – auch von ungeübteren Nutzen. Translation by NIPPON Genetics EUROPE: We have been using the FastGene® NanoSpec photometer for two years in the training of biotechnology assistants. The ease of use, handy design and reliable measurements have not only convinced us as teachers, but also our students. The easy-to-carry design also makes it easy to move the photometer from room to room. We use the photometer mainly to quantify DNA (microvolumes) and proteins (cuvettes – Bradford assay and A280). The measurements are reliable and highly reproducible, even when performed by inexperienced users.
