Get a quick look at some of the most prominent features of DS-Series Spectrophotometers / Fluorometers in these short videos.
DS-Series instruments are available in four colors: Brazilian Blue, Arctic White, Tungsten Silver, and Fire Red. Color options vary by model.
EasyApps Secure provides an optional suite of software controls that allow regulated GxP facilities to easily add DS-Series instruments to their compliant workflows (view the compliance statement). The software is fully integrated within the onboard operating system for most models and includes a range of features essential to ensuring compliance, including:
The DS-11 Series has a 4.8 / 5 star rating on SelectScience with hundreds of independent customer reviews.
The instrument is very helpful to estimate DNA from processed and degraded samples which have a very low concentration in extraction, as it can measure DNA between 0.5 pg/µL and 4000 ng/µL. It is more sensitive and reproducible than its competitors in the market. It is very user-friendly and can provide results in 2 seconds. It can also quantify proteins so it is a must buy an instrument for any laboratory.
I have used the DS-11 FX+ model and found it to be an excellent instrument. It's very easy to operate, and the software is highly intuitive. The antibody concentration measurements were consistent and reliable. I also performed a serial dilution experiment with BSA and obtained convincing results with excellent linearity. I’ve also used it to calculate P/F ratios for fluorescent labeled antibodies with great success. Overall, I’m very happy with the product.
Excellent, multifunctional machine. I have been using for years. It is very user friendly and an excellent value.
This product is very easy to use, the software is intuitive and allows a wide range of kits to be used on the same device. The results are precise and comparable between several uses.
This spectrophotometer is an excellent piece of lab equipment! It is easy to use and data is displayed clearly. There are also options to email/export data to your own computer. When performing assays, the UV-Vis functionality makes data collection a breeze!
We had the chance of testing the DS-11 series spectrophotometer/fluorometer before purchasing it. The different people working with this equipment were really satisfied with its quality, reproducibility, and ease of use. Acquiring it was an easy decision. Also, really happy with the customer service.
The DeNovix DS-C has a small footprint which was necessary for our lab space. Upgrading the software regularly is simple to do and helps maintain the applications on the unit. After purchase customer service is some of the best I have ever experienced! I would highly recommend the DeNovix Spectrophotometers!
Handy equipment with modern look. Easy to operate with android platform. Ease of standard curve preparation. Option of adjusting sample volume and standard DNA volume as per samples. Easy connectivity with WiFi and data storage facility.
The product is very easy to use and takes up very little space on the benchtop. We wanted to move from the Nanodrops and Ocean Optics we were using previously to one stand-alone system that would meet the needs of both our Life Science and Chemistry programs. Less reagents, less waste, and no cuvettes are also big pluses for us.
The multifunctional use of the device enables a wide array of projects to utilise the same system, especially when preparing DNA libraries for nanopore sequencing. This allows for not just the quantification of the DNA library but also troubleshoot during low quality library sequencing and poor sample quality.
We have the DeNovix DS-11 in our co-working lab. We love that it is compact, fits perfectly on the benchtop, and ready to use right out of the box. The DeNovix DS-11 is currently servicing multiple start-ups in their nucleic acid and protein quantification. Scientists in the lab find this instrument easy to use with minimal training required and are satisfied with the rapid responses and accuracy in the readings.
The product has unique accuracy and suitability to the job. Indeed, it is the most sensitive and precise device I've ever used in my laboratory.
The product was ready to use out of the box! That made it easy on me and I did not have to do any calibration! I would recommend buying this product.
This fluorometer was just what our laboratory needed! It is economical and very user friendly. Also, the DeNovix staff continues to support well after the purchase.
I recently had the pleasure of using the DS-11 DeNovix spectrophotometer, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations. This compact instrument packs a punch in terms of performance and usability. Its impressive performance, user-friendly design, and excellent support make it an invaluable tool for researchers. If you're in need of a reliable and efficient spectrophotometer, the DS-11 DeNovix is a standout choice.
DeNovix is a great device. Fast, accurate, and easy to maintain. We have been using it for 5 - 6 years and it has consistently performed well.
