What are the recommended laboratory conditions (temperature, humidity, etc.) for the NanoDrop?

30 June 2022 0 7K Report

Hello,

my section at my department has purchased the NanoDrop instrument and we are currently debating where it will be located. One of the suggestions was in an open air laboratory, which has me concerned as we are in Thailand where the humidity is high and temperatures can reach or even exceed 40C. I tried looking for this information, but did not find anything concrete yet. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thank you very much.
