Overview
Lunatic makes batch quantification of protein, DNA and RNA a no-brainer. All you need is 2 µL and 10 minutes to measure up to 96 samples.
Run them straight up, even at high concentrations, without ever diluting. Lunatic gets biologics and genomics UV/Vis quantification on the money every time. Just drop, load and read.
