Sievers 280i Nitric Oxide Analyzer

            From diabetes to hypertension, cancer to drug addiction, stroke to intestinal motility, memory and learning disorders to septic shock, sunburn to anorexia, male impotence to tuberculosis, there is probably no pathological condition where nitric oxide does not play an important role. Only recently (within the last 13 years) discovered as a product of enzymatic synthesis in mammals, there are more than 32,000 scientific papers dealing with this remarkable molecule with most of these published within the last five years.

            The Seivers 280i is a multifunctional apparatus.  It has the ability to measure nitric oxide and its reaction products, nitrite, nitrate and nitrosothiols, in virtually any biological fluid including: cell culture media, plasma, sera, urine, cerebral-spinal fluid, bronchial-alveolar lavage, perfusates, and tissue homogenates.

Applications and Analysis:

• Analysis of biological fluids such as plasma, urine, BAL, cell cultures, and perfusates
• Measurement of nitric oxide, nitrite, nitrate, and nitrosothiols
• Minimum detection limit 1 picogram
• Analysis time less than 1 minute
• Sample size from a few microlitres,to millilitres
