The ground-breaking Genequant II RNA / DNA calculator reads a sample cell of RNA or DNA and works out the concentration according standardised industry standard formulae. By firing specific wavelengths of UV light through the sample, it is possible to determine this concentration.
The industrial design was undertaken by the late great Rick Dickinson, designer of the Sinclair ZX81 and ZX Spectrum cases among other notable successes.
