SX20-LED

By Applied Photophysics

High sensitivity stopped-flow at specific wavelengths For researchers conducting stopped-flow experiments at specific wavelengths the SX20 LED provides a high sensitivity solution based on monochromatic LED light sources. These alternatives to a xenon light source offer high intensity, high stability and a very long lifetime. With all the benefits of the SX20 sample handling unit, the SX20 LED Stopped-Flow will find wide application in labs seeking to maximize fluorescence sensitivity at selected wavelengths. The SX20 LED can be upgraded to a full SX20 system in the future. Instrument Overview High intensity LED light source. Over 40 wavelengths available from 280nm to 760nm - Very high fluorescence sensitivity - Extremely high stability, rapid start-up and long lasting - Cost-effective - Small footprint - Unique lower inner filtering / high sensitivity cell designs - Low dead-time, low volume requirement - ProData acquisition, display and analysis software (unlimited seats) - Large range of upgrade options Key Features - 5-window stopped-flow cell: maximizes fluorescence sensitivity, minimizes inner-filter effect and provides optimum pathlengths for absorbance and/or fluorescence measurements - Improved signal-to-noise and a lower limit of detection: LEDs are approximately 10x more intense than for the same wavelength when compared to a xenon light source - Reduced footprint: requires 1m of bench space - Automatic dead-time measurement: simple stopped-flow drive shows that the system is performing optimally for very fast kinetics - Cost-effective: without the requirement for a standard light source and monochromator, the system cost is significantly lower - Automatic dead-time measurement: a simple stopped-flow drive is all that is needed to show that the instrument is performing optimally for very fast kinetics.
