Building on the success of the first model, the FS5, the FS5 v2 is a compact, high-performance benchtop system designed for the comprehensive characterisation of a wide range of samples, including liquid solutions, solids, powders, and thin films.
Its quick-exchange sample holders and advanced automation capabilities, making it adaptable to a variety of industry and research needs.
Key features of the FS5 v2 include:
• Unmatched sensitivity: The FS5 v2 boasts an impressive signal-to-noise ratio of 12000:1, enabling the detection of even the weakest signals.
• Widest spectral coverage: With an extended NIR detection range out to 2.05 μm, the FS5 v2 opens new possibilities for studying a broader range of samples.
• Advanced automation: The newest iteration of ‘Fluoracle’ software – offers full control of the instrument, from data acquisition to advanced analysis, making experiments more efficient than ever before.
• Simplify your workflow: the FS5 v2 delivers both absorption and fluorescence spectra, eliminating the need for multiple instruments.
• Comprehensive capabilities: The FS5 v2 supports a wide range of applications, including steady-state fluorescence, quantum yield, phosphorescence, time-resolved measurements, and much more.
"We are thrilled to introduce the FS5 v2 to the research community and industry alike," said Roger Fenske, CEO at Edinburgh Instruments. "This new model represents a significant leap forward in photoluminescence spectroscopy, offering customers the sensitivity, flexibility, and ease of use they need to push the boundaries of their work."
