DS-11 Series Spectrophotometers / Fluorometers combine 1µL UV-Vis, cuvette UV-Vis, and fluorescence into one instrument.
DeNovix takes spectrophotometry to a whole new level of performance with the DS-11 Series. This easy-to-use, compact spectrophotometer delivers full spectrum UV-Vis analysis and fluorescence capability, making it ideal for rapid nucleic acid and protein quantification.
Nano UV-Vis, Fluorescence and Cuvette options. Multi-modal spectrophotometer fluorometer for unmatched specificity and sensitivity.
Easy-to-use, intuitive software designed by life scientists, for life scientists.
Designed for sensitivity and accuracy, SmartPath technology algorithms compress the sample so there’s never column breakage.
Twice-awarded Life Science Product of the Year, Platinum Seal of Quality.
Wi-Fi, USB, Email, Ethernet and more. Data app automatically saves results.
No recalibration required for the life of the instrument.
The DeNovix team developed a combination of opto-mechanical components and software algorithms that optimize results for every sample. Bridge Testing™ verification eliminates unreliable results that stem from broken sample columns or loading issues.
SmartPath algorithms ensure that the sample is only compressed, never stretched, to keep the column intact.
Multiple algorithms ensure confidence in results while also providing important information about possible sample anomalies.
The DS-11 Series uniquely integrates an optional 4-channel fluorometer. Fluorescence mode enables up to 1000x more sensitivity. DeNovix Fluorometers are compatible with a wide range of commonly used quantification assays.
Use standard quartz or disposable cuvettes for up to 10 mm pathlength absorbance measurements (190 – 840 nm).
Cuvette applications include nucleic acids, proteins, colorimetric assays, OD600 and custom standard curves. Systems include a cuvette block heater for Kinetics studies from 37 – 45°C.
The DS-11 Series combines the ease of use, wide dynamic range, and contamination detection of UV-Vis with the enhanced sensitivity and specificity of fluorescence quantification. This unmatched flexibility allows the DS-11 Series to excel in a wide range of applications.
*Using DeNovix Fluorescence Quantification assays. For other kits please see manufacturer’s specifications.
DeNovix fluorometers give scientists the flexibility to choose any fluorescent assay, not just the assays supplied by one manufacturer. Fluorometer apps are compatible with DeNovix Fluorescence Assays and other common commercially available assays measured in standard 0.5 mL thin-wall PCR tubes.

All DS-11 Series models are available in four colors: Brazilian Blue, Arctic White, Tungsten Silver, and Fire Red.
The DS-11 Series is equipped with pre-configured applications for each of the most commonly measured biomolecule types. All apps readily present results and spectra onscreen in seconds.
EasyApps software is designed by life scientists and combines with an intuitive touchscreen interface to ensure error-free operation and sample to data in under 3 seconds. Every instrument is ready to go right out of the box – no PC set-up or software installation required.
Simply and securely connect the DS-11 to your network by Wi-Fi or Ethernet to enable data exporting by email, or print reports to network or label printers.
Each measurement is automatically saved to a large onboard memory, enabling storage and retrieval of millions of samples. For labs requiring external data storage, network folder locations can be defined for each user account to automatically export and archive results.
During measurements, SmartQC will check samples against well-established purity ratios. Samples that do not meet purity specifications will be flagged with visual alert icons. Tapping on an alert icon on the Run screen will provide detailed information regarding the possible reasons for the high or low value.
A full installation and qualification (IQ/OQ) package is available for all DS-11 Series models.
Quote includes IQ/OQ documentation and reagents necessary for end-user completion of IQ/OQ process. On-site services are not provided by DeNovix.
Although the DeNovix DS-11 Series’s propriety SmartPath™ technology enables accurate pathlength control and eliminates the need for routine recalibration, labs may choose to run the Diagnostics app to verify that the instrument is working within specifications. The Self Test option within the app is designed to easily verify the correct operation of the flash lamp and detector.
EasyApps Secure provides an optional suite of software controls that allow regulated GxP facilities to easily add DS-11 Series instruments to their compliant workflows (view the compliance statement). The software is fully integrated within the onboard operating system and includes a range of features essential to ensuring compliance, including:
DeNovix Fluorescence Quantification Assays includes four offerings designed for accuracy and linearity.
Instantly add the power of fluorescence detection to any DeNovix DS-11, DS-11+ or DS-C Spectrophotometer.
The DS-11 Series has a 4.8 / 5 star rating on SelectScience with hundreds of independent customer reviews.
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.
Excellent, multifunctional machine. I have been using for years. It is very user friendly and an excellent value.
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.
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.
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.
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 DS-11 FX+ has helped with making my work easier and faster. It can give good readings for much higher concentrations of peptides than other instruments I have used and is very accurate! The instrument also has a great user interface!
