FLS1000 – Photoluminescence Spectrometer

The FLS1000 Spectrometer sets the standard in both steady state and time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy for both fundamental research and routine laboratory applications.

Whether you are studying photophysics, photochemistry, biophysics, biochemistry, material or life sciences, the FLS1000 will enable you to reliably and accurately measure luminescence spectra and kinetics using state-of-the-art sources, detectors, acquisition techniques, quality optics and precision mechanics. The large sample chamber will house practically any type of sample accessory.

  • Fluoracle® software package – easily accessible user interface and updated features
  • Higher Resolution –  325 mm focal length monochromators provide superb accuracy and excellent stray light rejection with minimum step size
  • Faster measurements – increased scan speeds and leading performance
  • Increased automation – ease of use for even the most complex configurations
  • NEW MicroPL Upgrade allows spectral and time-resolved photoluminescence measurements of samples in the microscopic scale
  • Live video demonstration – contact us to arrange an online demonstration. We can accept your samples and talk you through the process as we run test measurements.
