Spectrofluorometer equipped with a Peltier thermostat
Fluorescence spectroscopy is a versatile tool with a wide range of possible applications in the field of chemistry, biology, or medicine.The FP-8500 spectrofluorometer is a high-performance instrument with several beneficial features including optimized optical design for very low stray light, a dynamic range of up to 6.5 orders of magnitude, high sensitivity, high spectral resolution, and high-speed scanning, which enables fast and high-accuracy measurements of various samples even with low fluorescence levels. 3D spectra measurement mode, temperature-controlled measurements are available. Phosphorescence samples can be studied.
