Applied Photophysics Chirascan Plus

Circular Dichroism Spectroscopy

The CD spectrometer provides researchers with structural information about biomolecules and synthetic biomimetic polymers. It is capable of simultaneous data acquisition of parameters such as: Circular Dichroism, Fluorescence, true UV-VIS Absorbance, Temperature and Single/Multi-Wavelength Thermal Melt Analysis, across a wide wavelength range (170-1,150nm). Using the same high-performance UV-VIS-IR avalanche photo-diode detector, it is also possible to configure the instrument for the acquisition of both Linear Dichroism measurements (down to 180nm) and Optical Rotatory Dispersion measurements. The sample compartment contains a single cell Peltier-controlled cell holder which is capable of performing temperature-controlled (ramping) measurements with the ability to acquire Circular Dichroism vs temperature curves at more than one wavelength in a single continuous-temperature-ramping experiment (with the sample temperature recorded for each discrete measurement). 

Perkin Elmer LS55 Fluorescence Spectrometer

Fluorescence Spectroscopy

The Perkin Elmer LS 55 luminescence spectrometer is a very versatile instrument that allows measurement of fluorescence, phosphorescence, and chemiluminescence or bioluminescence of a sample. 

The Model LS 55 Series uses a pulsed Xenon lamp as a source of excitation. The sample is excited from 200 to 800 nm and the emission spectra recorded from 200 to 900 nm. Excitation and emission monochromators can be independently or synchronously scanned, while the Prescan mode is ideal for method development and locating of peak excitation and emission maxima.

Shimadzu UV 2600 & 1800

UV-VIS Scanning Spectrophotometers

Shimadzu UV 2600 & 1800 Spectrometers are used to facilitate the qualitative and quantitative analysis of compounds which absorb light in the UV-VIS region. They are single monochromator, variable slit, double-beam instruments, with the 2600 having a standard scanning range of 185-900nm but with the availableShimadzu ISR 2600 Plus Integrating Sphere it can extend the operating range into the near-IR region with an upper limit of 1,400nm. The 1800 instrument has a standard scanning range of 190-1,100nm. 

All instrument control & data acquisition is performed through the latest version of the Shimadzu UVProbe software, which includes built-in Validation Software as standard to support GLP/GMP requirements. Highly customisable acquisition Modules - Spectrum, Photometricand Kinetics - also facilitate a wide range of applications.
