Hi Tim,
The Shimadzu UV2401PC comes at a reasonable price and has all features you might possible need in a Biochemistry lab. And if you like the option to use small sample volumes, I would suggest to by a TrayCell from Helma - you put it in a regular photometer, it guides the light through a microliter chamber and back into the photometer (it is essentially a cuvette with optics and a 1 or 5 microliter chamber). Costs a few hundred Euros . If you're sure you will never need regular cuvettes - go for Nanodrop. If you want more flexibility, Shimadzu plus TrayCell .
