Edinburgh Analytical and Alontia launch DB30 NanoIndex and DB30 NanoSize packages

Hørsholm, Denmark and Livingston, United Kingdom — 22 September 2026. New packages combine the DB30 UV-Vis Spectrophotometer with nanophotonic cuvettes and cloud analytics for refractive-index and particle-size insights.

Edinburgh Analytical and Alontia A/S, also known as Copenhagen Nanosystems A/S (CPH Nano), today announced the launch of the DB30 NanoIndex and DB30 NanoSize packages, expanding the DB30 Double-beam UV-Vis Spectrophotometer beyond conventional absorbance and transmission measurements.

Developed through a strategic partnership, the packages combine Edinburgh Analytical’s high-performance DB30 platform with Alontia’s nanophotonic cuvette technology and cloud-based analytics. The result is a connected workflow designed to provide refractive-index and particle-size insights using familiar UV-Vis instrumentation.

Designed for research and quality-control laboratories, the new packages can reduce sample-volume requirements, simplify preparation and help teams move effortlessly from measurement to actionable data.

A partnership driving innovation

The collaboration between Edinburgh Analytical and Alontia brings together expertise in precision optical engineering, nanophotonic sensing, and cloud-enabled analytical technologies. Together, the companies are committed to advancing UV-Vis spectroscopy and creating new opportunities for laboratories seeking greater analytical capability from existing workflows.

DB30 NanoIndex

Powered by the SpectroCuvette™ One, this package enables refractive index analysis, trace-volume measurements, and an extended measurement range. The solution is particularly well suited for applications such as protein analysis, sugar measurement, and cases where sample conservation and accuracy are critical.

DB30 NanoSize

Using the SpectroCuvette™ S, this package enables particle size-related measurements directly from UV-Vis spectra. This provides laboratories working with nanoparticles, colloids, formulations, and advanced materials with a complementary alternative to traditional particle sizing workflows.

SpectroLink™ and SpectroWorks™

Both packages include SpectroLink™ box set-up and the SpectroWorks™ cloud platform. Together these transform the DB30 into a connected analytical environment with cloud-based data management, machine learning-based modelling and custom application development, with seamless integration between the instrument and analytics.
