TemPro Filter-based Spectrofluorometer from HORIBA

HORIBA Scientific has released a low-cost, compact instrument called TemPro Stand-alone Filter-based Lifetime System for lab applications. Researchers can now leverage the power of fluorescence dynamics through time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC), which happens to be the best sensitive technique for measuring fluorescence. This desktop instrument is capable of calculating lifetimes ranging between picoseconds and seconds.

The TemPro filter-based spectrofluorometer uses LED light-sources as well as an interchangeable pulsed laser-diode which cover separate emission wavelengths ranging from 255 nm to the near-IR.

Key Features

Product features of the TemPro filter-based spectrofluorometer are:

Reliable and fast USB 2.0 interface provides easy and hassle-free data-transfer to PC or laptop

Lifetimes ranging from picoseconds to seconds

Includes complete electronics and analysis software

Detector range is between 185 and 650 nm

Optional detection is extended to 850 nm

Calculates rotational correlation times through optional polarizers

Can convert the optical system into a monochromator-based system which is capable of Time-Resolved Emission Spectra (TRES)

Complete range of SpectraLED and NanoLED diode light sources from UV to near-IR is provided as an option

Can be upgraded to monochromator-based spectrofluorometer

Optional front-face sample-holder

The system is ideal for fundamental research and analytical measurements and provides power and compactness in a single platform. The TemPro lifetime system is backed with almost 200 years of service, sales and applications know-how in optical tools.
