The FluoTime 300 from PicoQuant is a Photoluminescence Spectrometer that has a spectral range of 230 nm - 1700 nm (PMT) & 220 nm - 890 nm (PMA Hybrid). It has excitation wavelengths of 200 nm - 900 nm (pulsed and CW Xenon lamp), 255 nm - 600 nm (pulsed LED), and 266 nm - 1990 nm (picosecond pulsed laser). This spectrometer uses both single and double monochromator for emission & excitation and has a wavelength accuracy of 0.2 nm (double monochromator) & 0.3 nm (single monochromator). It has a spectral resolution of 0.1 nm & 0.2 nm (double) and 0.2 nm (single). This spectrometer has a pulse width of 40 ps - 200 ps (picosecond pulsed laser), 400 ps - 1 ns (pulsed LED), and less than 1 &mus (pulsed Xenon lamp).
The FluoTime 300 has a focal length of 150 mm (single monochromator) and 300 mm (double monochromator). It has a grating density of 600 g/mm, blazed at 1250 nm & 1200 g/mm blazed at 500 nm (in emission) and 1200 g/mm blazed at 300 nm (in excitation). This spectrometer has a dispersion of 1.35 nm/mm & 2.7 nm/mm (double) and 2.7 nm/mm & 5.4 nm/mm (single). It has a stray light rejection of 1:10-8 (double) and 1:10-5 nm (single). This spectrometer has superior sensitivity above 32000:1 and up to 32768 or 65536 time channels. It operates in two data acquisition modes: TCSPC (Time-Correlated Single Photon Counting) and MCS (Multi-Channel Scaling).
The FluoTime 300 has a bin width of 4 ps, 25 ps, 250 ps (TCSPC) & 2.5 ns (MCS) and dead time of 2 ps, 9 ps, 25 ns (TCSPC) & 2.5 ns (MCS). It is a fully automatic flexible and modular system that can be operated via Windows 10 operating system. This spectrometer is available in a Czerny-Turner design and is ideal for fluorescence anisotropy, fluorescence & phosphorescence spectra, fluorescence & phosphorescence lifetime decay, absolute quantum yield, emission-excitation matrix (EEM), time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL), and time-resolved emission spectra (TRES) applications.
