Modern Power meets Traditional Simplicity

Live Display and Concentration Mode

Replicate the familiar display of absorbance or transmittance, and single standard concentration measurements of prior generation instruments in the GENESYS 30 Live Display mode. All your parameters are set and kept in view on a single screen as the calculated concentration updates every two seconds.

Fixed Mode

Apply a factor to an absorbance measurement at one wavelength, or measure at two wavelengths with two factors and perform addition, subtraction or division of the values. Display results for up ten samples then print, save or clear your data before going on to the next sample series.

Quantitative Analysis with up to Six Standards

Go beyond the basic spectrophotometer by recording and storing up to six standards to calibrate your method. Choose a linear fit with an intercept or forced through zero. Name and save your method on the instrument or back it up to a USB memory device. All data are recorded with an index number (S1 – S10) and a time stamp. The result table accommodates up to ten samples for you to print or save before going on to the next sample series or analysis.

Go negative!

Some methods call for blanking the instrument on a dark standard and reading absorbance in the negative range. Most single beam instruments cannot measure below -0.3A. GENESYS 30 uses advanced signal processing to deliver stable, reliable results down to -3A.

Simple to Sophisticated:

The GENESYS 30 has the flexibility to perform routine analysis one minute and complex analytical methods the next. The custom Analyzer mode enables you to build your formula with up to six wavelengths, six factors, standard arithmetic operators and absorbance values raised to the 2nd or 3rd power. Use the included Windows® application to design your method. Transfer the method to your GENESYS 30 and run it with the touch of a button. Analyzer mode shows your method name and a continuous display of your results. Technicians can write the result down or print it with a time stamp using the printer accessory.

Smarter by Design: 

GENESYS 30 offers the convenient SmartStart™ feature that has delighted GENESYS 10S users since its introduction. The SmartStart menu gives you direct access to your 12 favorite methods. Allowing you to work smarter, not harder.

Snap on Printer: 

Fast and clear printing when you need it. Add printing capability to your instrument. The snap-on thermal printer installs
in moments. 

Quick and Simple Lamp Replacement: 

No need to remove the cover, just loosen two screws, slide out the old lamp fitting and slide a new one back in. Everything is pre-aligned, just let the new lamp warm up and go back to work.

At Home in the Instructional Laboratory

GENESYS spectrophotometers are core teaching instruments in chemistry and biology laboratories around the world. The Thermo Scientific™ GENESYS™ 30 allows students and teachers to focus on examining scientific data and learning scientific concepts instead of learning instrumentation.

Easy to Teach, Easy to Learn 

Clearly labeled, uniquely colored keys simplify instrument operation. New users require little or no training.

Get Working – Faster!

Large, color digital screen and numeric keypad help you set up methods faster. Simplified software interface gives users maximum control and efficiency.

Designed for Today, Built for Tomorrow – Inside and Out!

On the inside, GENESYS 30 uses advanced optics, electronics and signal processing to deliver superior measurement performance for its class. On the outside, GENESYS 30 presents a tough exterior built to last for years in the most demanding environments.

• Resistant to spills
• Removable and washable sample compartment
• The sample compartment lid
  • stays where you put it - open or closed
  • has a magnetic latch to hold it closed during measurements
  • is customer-replaceable should it get broken through abuse

Simple and Familiar

Open the Live Display application with a single button-press to monitor the absorbance or transmittance live – just like a GENESYS 20 or SPECTRONIC 20. The spectrum indicator shows the color of light being absorbed.

Special support for OD 600 and test-tube measurements

For measurements in test-tubes, the test-tube holder accessory accommodates 100mm x 13mm test-tubes with the lid closed. Or add the tall test-tube adaptor to use larger diameter, taller tubes (up to 150mm, 6 inches) with the lid open. Special OD600 mode for cell growth measurements. Select it from the Home menu and go! No method setup required.

Scanning: Simple and Fast

Find peaks in the spectrum of your sample by scanning across the spectrum in any range from 325nm to 1100nm with 1nm precision and noise-free peaks up to 3A. Use the cursor and zoom controls to identify λ_max.

Data you can use

• Print your scan and stick it into a lab notebook using the printer accessory and optional self-stick printer paper.
• Save the data points of your scan to a USB memory device and load the data into a spreadsheet or graphing program for optimal reporting.
