Spectrofluorometers are designed to detect and quantify fluorophores. These are fluorescent molecules that, when exposed to light, absorb photons at a characteristic wavelength. Subsequently, they then emit photons at a different and slightly longer characteristic wavelength. Spectrofluorometers contain excitation and emission filters for using different fluorophores. Monitoring the activities of molecules labeled with fluorophores is crucial to many kinds of experiments in cell biology, molecular biology and genetics, pharmaceuticals, and forensics, among many others. Emitted light may be detected by photomultiplier tubes or photodiodes within the spectrofluorometer, depending on the model. In addition, users of spectrofluorometers now have a wide range of high-tech fluorophores from which to choose to complement the features of a Spectrofluorometer, also referred to as fluorimeter. Modern fluorometers and fluorimeters are capable of detection as low as 1 part per trillion.

| Description | The FLS1000 Spectrometer sets the standard in both steady state and time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy for both fundamental research and routine laboratory applications.
The system is a modular fluorescence and phosphorescence spectrometer for measuring spectra from the ultraviolet to The FLS1000 Spectrometer sets the standard in both steady state and time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy for both fundamental research and routine laboratory applications.
The system is a modular fluorescence and phosphorescence spectrometer for measuring spectra from the ultraviolet to the mid-infrared spectral range (up to 5,500 nm), and lifetimes spanning from picoseconds to seconds. All of this can be achieved through various upgrade routes, either at the time of order or in the future.
Whether you are studying photophysics, photochemistry, biophysics, biochemistry, material or life sciences, the FLS1000 will enable you to reliably and accurately measure luminescence spectra and kinetics using state-of-the-art sources, detectors, acquisition techniques, quality optics and precision mechanics. The large sample chamber will house practically any type of sample accessory.
High sensitivity is a prerequisite for measurements of low sample concentrations, small sample volumes or low sample quantum yields. The instrument’s guaranteed sensitivity of >35,000:1 for the standard water Raman measurement using the SQRT method is unmatched in the industry.
The FL1000 has a USB interface and all modes of operation are controlled by ONE data acquisition module and ONE all-inclusive Fluoracle software package for data acquisition and analysis. Light source, detector, grating, slits, polarisers are all computer-controlled for accurate and precise measurements.
Features: - New Fluoracle® software package – easily accessible user interface and updated features
- Higher Resolution – new 325 mm focal length monochromators provide superb accuracy and excellent stray light rejection with minimum step size
- Faster measurements – increased scan speeds and leading performance
- Increased automation – ease of use for even the most complex configurations
