EzDrop 1000C at a Glance
The EzDrop 1000C is a dual mode UV-Vis spectrophotometer made by Blue-Ray Biotech and supplied in India by Global Bioscience Solutions (Bengaluru). Microvolume mode quantifies DNA, RNA and protein from 1–2 µL, while cuvette mode adds 37/40/45°C heating, stirring and kinetics for incubated protein assays, OD600 and enzyme studies. It covers 190–1000 nm, reads in under 3 seconds and runs standalone on a 7-inch touchscreen.

Guides sample placement and runs standalone from a 7-inch screen, or connects to a PC for reports.
How to Run a Temperature-Controlled Cuvette Assay
- Select cuvette mode: Choose cuvette detection on the touchscreen; the mode is selected manually.
- Set the temperature: Choose 37°C, 40°C or 45°C and let the cuvette holder reach temperature.
- Blank the instrument: Insert a cuvette containing your blank solution and run the blank.
- Add the sample: Insert the sample cuvette and switch on stirring if the reaction needs mixing.
- Measure: Read a single value, or start the kinetics function to record absorbance over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between microvolume and cuvette mode?
Microvolume mode reads 1–2 µL directly on the pedestal for fast DNA, RNA and protein quantification without dilution. Cuvette mode uses a standard cuvette and adds heating and stirring, so it suits dilute samples, OD600 and time-course or kinetic assays.
When should I use cuvette mode on a spectrophotometer?
Use cuvette mode for incubated protein assays such as BCA or Lowry, bacterial cell density (OD600), enzyme kinetics, or samples too dilute for microvolume detection.
What is the difference between EzDrop 1000 and EzDrop 1000C?
The EzDrop 1000 is microvolume-only. The EzDrop 1000C adds a cuvette port with built-in heating, stirring and kinetics functions, so one instrument covers both workflows.
What temperatures does the EzDrop 1000C cuvette heater support?
The built-in cuvette heater supports 37°C, 40°C and 45°C, which covers common enzyme and incubation conditions including physiological temperature.
Is the EzDrop 1000C a good NanoDrop alternative with a cuvette?
Yes. It offers 1 µL microvolume sampling over 190–1000 nm like other microvolume instruments, and adds a heated, stirred cuvette port in one compact, touchscreen-operated unit at a more budget-friendly price.
Why use cuvette mode for protein analysis?
Colorimetric assays such as BCA and Lowry need incubation at a set temperature. The 37–45°C control and built-in stirring keep the reaction uniform while it develops, so readings are consistent.
Can the EzDrop 1000C run enzyme kinetics?
Yes. With temperature-controlled, stirred cuvette mode and a kinetics function, you can monitor absorbance over time at a fixed temperature.
How much sample does microvolume mode need?
Only 1 µL to 2 µL per measurement, which preserves precious DNA, RNA and protein samples.
Which assays are built in?
dsDNA, ssDNA, RNA, protein (A280, BCA, Bradford, Lowry) and OD600, with 260/280 and 260/230 purity ratios.
Can the EzDrop 1000C be used without a computer?
Yes. It runs standalone from its 7-inch touchscreen and can also be connected to a computer for report generation.
What is the EzDrop 1000C price in India?
Pricing depends on configuration and quantity. Global Bioscience Solutions, an authorized Blue-Ray Biotech distributor in Bengaluru, provides institutional quotations via the quote form, WhatsApp or sales@globalbiosciencesolution.com.
Do you provide installation, training and warranty in India?
Yes. GBS provides installation, user training and warranty support for the EzDrop 1000C across India.
