be configured for use with MCPs, fs lasers, NIR detectors and excitation and emission monochromators to support virtually any experimental configuration. “For customers who routinely
measure lifetimes below 100ps, our new Ultima TCSPC offers unprecedented short lifetime performance with exceptional flexibility and ease of use,” comments Ishai Nir, director of the Fluorescence division at Horiba Scientific.
New product launched Meanwhile, 2015 also saw the launch of Shimadzu’s new RF-
6000 spectrofluorophotometer, which the company designed to provide stable analyses at a level of sensitivity that it says is unrivalled by some other instruments in its class. Te adoption of a much brighter light source allows the RF-6000 to achieve an S/N ratio of 350:1. Furthermore, the lifespan of the xenon arc lamp has been greatly extended, to approximately 2,000 hours. Tis, in combination with the range of the detector’s measurable wavelengths being widened, assures stable analyses with high precision. Additionally, a larger sample compartment, the
adoption of the new LabSolutions RF control software, and a variety of options mean that an even broader range of customer needs can be accommodated. It is possible to obtain
fluorescence spectra up to 900 nm with a standard configuration. In addition, the RF-6000 can be applied to new applications, for example, the measurement of quantum yield and quantum efficiency in order to evaluate the efficiency of a luminescent material; low-temperature measurement to enable recovery of a sample in order to elucidate artificial photosynthesis; or a search for
T Portable spectrometer hits the market
he new portable Spectroscout X-ray fluorescence spectrometer is designed to bring laboratory-
quality elemental composition monitoring and quality control testing to at-line analysis. Its maker, Spectro Analytical Instruments, says that the durable and compact analyser delivers reliable and highly precise results with the power of a top-grade laboratory benchtop instrument in an easily transportable design. The Spectroscout is ideal for manufacturers and processors of such products as chemicals, cosmetics, feedstocks, foods, metal coatings, and
pharmaceuticals among others. Employing the solution for at-line analysis enhances QC productivity by eliminating time spent transporting samples from the plant floor to the laboratory to wait in queue for testing. In contrast, the Spectroscout can deliver audit-traceable results directly from the manufacturing floor. Moreover, the product is a much
more affordable alternative as an at-line installation than larger and more costly laboratory instruments, and it can be operated with minimal introductory training.
