Product news

The new PTI QuantaMaster 8000 series offers the highest guaranteed sensitivity on the market, with a signal- to-noise ratio (SNR) of 30,000:1 RMS for water Raman, matched only by HORIBA’s own Fluorolog-3.

The PTI QuantaMaster 8000 is a modular research grade spectrofluorometer for steady state and lifetime measurements. It accommodates up to four excitation sources and six detection channels, triple grating turrets for extended wavelength range, and can be used with single or double monochromators for superior stray light rejection. TCSPC can be added to increase flexibility and adaptability, offering the fastest speeds, shortest lifetimes, and offering a tunable UV/Vis/NIR supercontinuum laser from 260 to 2,000 nm. The PTI QuantaMaster 8000 series can provide spectral and phosphorescence lifetime detection coverage to 5,500 nm.

PTI QuantaMaster 8000 is fully automated. FelixGX software controls all of the hardware functionality, and provides a full set of data acquisition protocols for spectral and kinetic measurements. Scans include: Excitation and Emission spectral scans, time-based scans, spectral and time-based polarization scans, simultaneous multi-dye measurements, synchronous excitation/emission scans, TCSPC lifetimes and phosphorescence decay and time-resolved excitation and emission spectra using either a Single Shot Transient Digitizer (SSTD) or gated detection (VCI).

“The PTI QuantaMaster 8000 series represents the next generation for steady state and lifetimes and is the first new fluorometer from HORIBA after the acquisition of PTI,” said Cary Davies, Global Product Line Manager, Fluorescence Division for HORIBA Scientific. “Researchers can now have a highly versatile fluorometer from the UV to NIR (280 to 5,500 nm), with the ultimate in sensitivity and many unique benefits.”

QuantaMaster™ 300

HORIBA Scientific

The QuantaMaster™ 300 is a modular bench-top photoluminescence spectrometer that utilizes a pulsed Xe lamp as excitation source. Primarily, the QuantaMaster™ 300 is designed for the user who needs the capability to measure both phosphorescence decays as well as to make steady state fluorescence and phosphorescence measurements. It features new 300 mm coma-corrected asymmetrical monochromators which dramatically reduce the stray light, improve spectral resolution and increase light throughput.The instrument excels in very rapid measurement of phosphorescence decays using the single shot transient digitizer (SSTD) technique. The QuantaMaster™ 300 is the highest performance photoluminescence system using a pulsed light source on the market today.Applications: Gated lanthanide spectra and lifetimes Luminescence of phosphors and inorganic materials LRET/FRET Room temperature protein phosphorescence Low temperature phosphorescence spectra and lifetimes Protein folding/unfolding Protein-protein and protein-drug interactions And many more!

Fluorescence SpectroscopyFluorometers and spectrofluorometers (also called fluorescence spectrometers) are used to measure the intensity and wavelength of fluorescent light emitted from a sample after excitation by illumination. Spectrofluorometers utilize monochromators to select the desired wavelengths, whereas filter fluorometers employ a set of filters. Spectrofluorometers for measuring steady-state fluorescence and lifetime fluorescence (or time-resolved fluorescence) are available, as well as fluorescence microscopes and microplate readers.
