Aqualog Benchtop Fluorometer

HORIBA Scientific has launched a new compact, benchtop fluorometer called Aqualog which is capable of determining fluorescence Excitation-Emission Matrices (EEMs) and absorbance spectra simultaneously.

When compared to other instruments, users can acquire the EEMs by up to 100x faster. Additionally, a dedicated software is capable of automating traceable Quinine Sulfate Unit calibration and rectifying inner-filter effects and Raman and Rayleigh lines. These aspects allow instant export to modeling algorithms such as PARAFAC.

The instrument provides deep UV absorbance as well as fluorescence excitation from 200 nm. It also functions as a completely automated sample queue tool to allow constant analysis, data acquisition and export for instant multivariate examination through the Solo package available from Eigenvector Research, a partner of HORIBA Scientific.
