matrices (EEMs). Dual-FL features spectral rates as fast as 80,000nm/s, and acquires EEMs up to a 100 times faster than any other instrument.
With its sensitive cooled, back- illuminated CCD detector for rapid collection of emission spectra, and an excitation double monochromator for superior stray light rejection, the Dual-FL has signal-to-noise greater than 20,000:1 RMS.
Te simultaneous absorbance data can be used to correct inner-filter effects in measurement of high concentration samples, eliminating the need for time consuming, laborious dilutions.
Te Dual-FL can also be used as a stand-alone UV-VIS, meeting spectrophotometer test specs such as the USP. ”
Raman spectrometers Meanwhile the company’s new LabRAM HR Evolution is the latest spectrometer to join the LabRAM series of research Raman spectrometers.
Te new spectrometer is highly versatile, offering a fully automated, extended wavelength range capability. It also has an unsurpassed achromatic optical design with a high focal length. According to the company, it provides high spectroscopic resolution and a
unique wavelength range capability from 200nm to 2000nm with an access to frequencies as low as 10cm-1 thanks to the Ultra Low Frequency module, providing high content spectroscopic information for chemical and structural identification as well as an accurate spatial resolution at sub-micron scale.
LabRAM HR Evolution is ideally suited to both micro and macro measurements, and offers advanced confocal imaging capabilities in 2D and 3D.
Te true confocal microscope enables the most detailed images and analysis to be obtained with speed and confidence. Dual Path Optics offers fast, simple switching between UV and VIS/NIR regions. No adjustment or alignment is required.
“Our customers should have flexibility from their instruments to make them more widely applicable to their needs,” said Loic Camenen, sales director of the research instruments division of Horiba Scientific. “Its flexible base can be expanded with a range of options, upgrades and accessories to suit all budgets and applications including Biosciences, new generation materials, and energy applied research, to name few. It can also easily be adapted to all major SPM/ AFM suppliers.”
Te LabRAM Evolution utilises Horiba Scientific’s new LabSpec 6 Spectroscopy Suite.
LabSpec 6 provides complete instrument control and data processing, assuring fast and reliable results. It combines simplicity with powerful analytical functionality, and opens up a full range of experiment protocols, from basic spectrum acquisition to hyperspectral confocal imaging.
Solving everyday problems Following the successful recent launch of Bruker Chemical & Applied Markets (CAM) division’s EVOQ LC-triple quadrupole (LC- TQ) mass spectrometers in Tokyo, the company is continuing with its global introduction.
Te Bruker EVOQ is a purpose- built innovation for the applied markets. Te EVOQ TQ-MS with the Advance LC is designed with what the company describes as game-changing innovations, such as the vacuum-insulated probe, heated electrospray, active exhaust, and IQ dual ion funnel.
Coupled with the high-performance EVOQ hardware is the equally high-performance software featuring Bruker’s novel compound-based screening (CBS) software for upfront method development on the triple
Extended deep-depletion CCD sensitivity A
ndor Technology has launched its Extended Range, Dual-AR technology for the Newton and iDus spectroscopy CCD platforms. This new
coating extends the near-infrared quantum efficiency (QE) performance of back-illuminated, deep-depletion sensors into the visible and ultraviolet range. Available on the flagship Newton 920 platform
and the laboratory-workhorse iDus 420 platform, the Extended Range, Dual-AR technology facilitates broadening of the QE range of back-illuminated, deep- depletion sensors through implementation of a new dual anti-reflection coating process. Antoine Varagnat, spectroscopy product
specialist at Andor Technology, commented: “The

outstanding broadband QE performance of the Dual-AR technology, combined with the superb low- etalonning performance and natural NIR sensitivity of back-illuminated deep-depletion sensors, constitute a very attractive solution for broadband luminescence/ photoluminescence and absorption spectroscopy, as well as multi-laser Raman setups.” Andor has also announced the launch of its multi-
wavelength imaging portfolio. The portfolio comprises of the TuCam, a state-of-the-art two camera adapter for simultaneous imaging with maximised field of view, as well as the Optosplit II, a cost-effective dual emission splitter that divides an image into two separate spatially equivalent components that can be
displayed side by side on a single camera sensor. Suited to fast, concurrent detection of two
different fluorophores in experiments such as co- localisation FRET or ratiometric ion signalling, TuCam and Optosplit II are compatible with Andor’s complete range of market leading low light imaging cameras, including iXon and Luca EMCCDs, Clara interline CCD and the Neo and Zyla sCMOS. A range of simultaneous multi-channel acquisition and complementary analysis software options are also available. Further flexibility can be accessed by converted
TuCam into a high performance camera switching device, facilitating fast switching between two different acquisition technologies, for example.
