[VWR Descriptions](https://knowledge.cphnano.com/en/pages/spectrophotometry-fundamentals#vwr-descriptions) May 18, 2022 # VWR mySPEC ## The VWR mySPEC provides reasonable performance with improved user interaction for microvolume spectrophotometry ### VWR mySPEC Spectrophotometer​ VWR mySPEC is a microvolume spectrophotometer that allows the users to perform nucleic acid and protein microvolume concentration plus purity measurements. By combining gold standard detection technology with new levels of data analysis and user interaction, results can be obtained in a quicker way, while the processing of samples becomes more robust than ever before.  Pre-configured modules allow for rapid, automated data analysis, including concentration and purity of RNA and DNA, protein measurements, determinations of labelling efficiencies, colorimetric assays on enzymatic activities and cell density measurements.    ![PHOT_20210720_Spectrophotometers_VWR_mySPEC](https://knowledge.cphnano.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PHOT_20210720_Spectrophotometers_VWR_mySPEC.png?width=400&name=PHOT_20210720_Spectrophotometers_VWR_mySPEC.png)   **Fast and precise** - The VWR mySPEC spectrophotometer is fast, precise, and easy to handle - just pipette, measure, and wipe.  **Ingeniously clever system control** - Use the "Auto Start" function for speeding up workflow. In addition, pipetting aid makes sample loading even simpler.  **Fully automated data analysis** - Pre-configured modules allow fully automated data analysis for a large variety of different applications.  ### VWR mySPEC with precision and speed  The VWR mySPEC Spectrophotometer is fast, precise, and easy to handle - just pipette, measure, and wipe. The user should pipette 1 µL of sample with the help of the ingenious pipetting aid, and then close the arm. The mySPEC's Auto Action function generates an optical sample column, analyses and processes the results in seconds, while the system's LEDs indicate a successful sample run. The user can obtain a full spectral data within 5 seconds.    ![PHOT_20210720_Spectrophotometers_VWR_mySPEC_arm](https://knowledge.cphnano.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PHOT_20210720_Spectrophotometers_VWR_mySPEC_arm.png?width=500&name=PHOT_20210720_Spectrophotometers_VWR_mySPEC_arm.png)     ### VWR mySPEC with i**ngeniously clever system control** Use the "Auto Start" function for speeding up workflow. In addition, pipetting aid makes sample loading even simpler. Furthermore, feedback LEDs can be used for operation control. Finally, automated data analysis can be performed after user-defined purity settings.   ![PHOT_20210720_Spectrophotometers_VWR_mySPEC_pipetting](https://knowledge.cphnano.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PHOT_20210720_Spectrophotometers_VWR_mySPEC_pipetting.png?width=500&name=PHOT_20210720_Spectrophotometers_VWR_mySPEC_pipetting.png)     ### VWR mySPEC with f**ully automated data analysis** Pre-configured modules allow fully automated data analysis for a large variety of different applications including concentration and purity of RNA and DNA, protein measurements, determination of labelling efficiencies, colorimetric assays on enzymatic activities, cell density measurements.    ![PHOT_20210720_Spectrophotometers_VWR_mySPEC_proteins](https://knowledge.cphnano.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PHOT_20210720_Spectrophotometers_VWR_mySPEC_proteins.png?width=450&name=PHOT_20210720_Spectrophotometers_VWR_mySPEC_proteins.png)     VWR mySPEC compared to other instruments The VWR mySPEC beats it's competitors on several parameters. TheVWR mySPEC features a wider wavelength range than both Faitful 721 UV-Vis and Amersham Ultrospec 500 Pro UV-Vis.    **VWR mySPEC versus Faithful 721 UV-Vis** - The VWR mySPEC features a wider wavelength range than Faithful 721 UV-Vis.  **VWR mySPEC versus Amersham Ultrospec 500 Pro UV-Vis ** - The VWR mySPEC features a wider wavelength range than Amersham Ultrospec 500 Pro UV-Vis.    The compatibility of VWR mySPEC with NanoCuvette™ One   - **The VWR mySPEC is not compatible with [NanoCuvette™ One](https://cphnano.com/nanocuvette-one/).** **However, the [VWR mySPEC Twin Touch](https://knowledge.cphnano.com/en/knowledge/vwr-myspec-twin-touch-uv-vis-spectrophotometer) features a cuvette port. **         This information is meant for guidance only.
