Edinburgh Anlaytical’s FE30 Fluorescence Spectrometer is essential for various qualitative and quantitative analysis.
Key Features
- Excellent signal-to-noise ratio: 15,000:1 (RMS-BG)
- Validation program: automatically check the health status of the instrument
- Fast spectrum scan: speed up to 60,000 nm/min
- Extended wavelength up to 900 nm
- Spectracle: the easy-to-use and powerful software
The FE30 is a high-sensitivity fluorescence system engineered with a finely tuned optical and electronic design to meet the demands of modern analytical applications. It achieves a water Raman signal-to-noise ratio of up to 15,000:1 (RMS-BG), accurately detecting samples with extremely low emission intensity or minimal concentration.
With an extended detection range reaching up to 900 nm, the system is well-suited for capturing long-wavelength fluorescence. A typical application is the analysis of dyes such as indocyanine green, which has excitation and emission peaks at around 760 nm and 805 nm, respectively.
The instrument also features rapid 3D fluorescence scanning capabilities, offering detailed spectral and peak information on unknown samples. With fast scanning technology, a full 3D scan can be completed in just two minutes, much faster than traditional methods that may take 30 minutes or more. This capability greatly increases throughput and enables the efficient analysis of multiple samples.
