JUVA: A Novel Single-Use UV Absorbance Detector
JUVA is an innovative single-use UV absorbance detector designed to measure UV light at a wavelength of 280 nm. Additional JUVA models measuring at 260 nm and 600 nm are also available from MEDNA Bio.
This novel solution for the downstream protein purification market operates on a pre-configured host machine or can be installed on any Windows 10 system.
JUVA is a portable unit that requires only a power connection and USB, seamlessly connecting to a laptop for graph display and data export.
Our base model features a sampling rate of 1 Hz, with advanced modes supporting rates of up to 10 Hz.
JUVA operates alongside a user-friendly software interface, providing high-resolution graphical data displays for intuitive interpretation and ingestion.
