Instrument Capabilities

The Horiba fluorimeter can be used for fluorescence as well as lifetime measurements.

Key features:

• The excitation sources include a 450 W ozone-free Xenon arc lamp, a flash lamp, and pulsed nanoLEDs.
• The maximum excitation wavelength is 660 nm.
• The system is equipped with two detectors with ranges from 250 up to 1050 nm (S) and 950 to 1400 nm (T).
• Spectral resolution of 0.1 nm.
• The system includes a cuvette holder for solutions and a holder for solid state samples.
• Motorized polarizers for anisotropy measurements
• The software will calculate anisotropies of samples, along with anisotropy decay using software-controlled polarizers.
• Time resolution of 300 ps for lifetime measurements using pulsed LED light sources covering a broad spectral range (see below)
• NanoLEDs for 330 nm, 370 nm, 402 nm, 442 nm, 482 nm, 561 nm, 613nm, 635 nm and 980 nm.
