DeNovix takes high throughput spectrophotometry to a new level of performance with the DS-8X Eight Channel Spectrophotometer. This easy-to-use, stand-alone device delivers full spectrum UV-Vis analysis, making it ideal for rapid nucleic acid and protein quantification.
The DeNovix difference: SmartQC™ sample assurance
The DS-8X employs a suite of quality assurance features to ensure reliable and accurate microvolume measurements. Proprietary DeNovix SmartPath™ technology uses micron-level pathlength control and immediate absorbance feedback. The measurement pathlength for every sample is automatically optimized through continuous sample compression.
Bridge Testing™ verification eliminates unreliable results that stem from broken sample columns or loading issues. The algorithm detects unbridged samples and adjusts in real-time to deliver accurate results, even for challenging 1 µl protein samples.
Automatically optimized for every sample
Multiple algorithms ensure confidence in results while also providing important information about possible sample anomalies.
SmartQC™ contamination alerts
DeNovix SmartQC™ software alerts the user and advises on potential issues. Its features include :
Automatically identifies and flags samples with suspected contamination
On-screen guidance to potential sources of contamination
Advanced spectral analysis and alerts to sample measurement anomalies
Surface Check – alerts users if previous sample hasn’t been removed
Report data with quality control metrics
EasyApps™ Software
EasyApps software is designed by life scientists and combines with an intuitive touchscreen interface to ensure error-free operation. Every instrument is ready to go right out of the box – no PC set-up or software installation required.
GxP compliance ready - optional 21 CFR Part 11 Software
EasyApps Secure provides an optional suite of software controls that allow regulated GxP facilities to easily add DS-8X 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:
Password protected system access
Integrated electronic signature controls
Comprehensive user account management
Secure audit trail recording
Advanced data handling and export tools
Multi-mode flexibility

Export via email, network & label printers, USB, and network drives
Print microfuge tube labels using a DeNovix supported printer
Print reports to a networked printer or DeNovix supported label printer
DS-8X+ cuvette mode
Enables up to 10 mm pathlength measurements using standard quartz or disposable cuvettes extending the UV-Vis lower detectible limit. The built-in cuvette heater controls temperatures for Kinetics studies. These added features provide a full range of UV-Vis absorbance quantitation in a single instrument.
Using the 1 cm cuvette mode enables a lower detection limit 20 times below what is available on the microvolume mode of the DS-8X without the use of fluorescent dyes to gain sensitivity. Measure samples with concentrations as low as 0.04 ng/ul of purified dsDNA or 0.002 mg/ml purified BSA in cuvette mode.
Upgrade to fluorescence
To take advantage of enhanced sensitivity and specificity, the DS-11 can be upgraded to add fluorescence capability with the addition of the FX module allowing any DS-8X to also function as a highly sensitive fluorometer. Alternatively, the DS-11 FX Series integrates both microvolume, cuvette absorbance and fluorescence into one compact instrument.
Color choices
The DS-8X and DS-8X+ are available in four color choices:
DS-8X key features
Intuitive app Icons for quick recognition
Familiar Android navigation touch gestures and functional icons
Based on the award-winning technology of the DS-11 Series, DS-8X Eight Channel Spectrophotometers ensure confidence in every measurement.
