Fluorescence Spectroscopy
Fluorescence Spectroscopy
HORIBA Scientific supplies the most extensive offerings of fluorescence spectroscopy instrumentation, including steady state measurements, and was the first supplier of both time domain and phase domain lifetime spectrofluorometers. No matter what your fluorescence spectroscopy application, the diverse set of base instruments, accessories, and alternatives, will allow you to achieve the best fluorometer possible, a fluorometer that will do your work easily, reproducibly, and accurately.
Drawing on the traditions that made SPEX®, IBH, and SLM® the dominant names in the fluorescence spectroscopy research fields, HORIBA Scientific produces the spectrofluorometers that can go to work right out of the box (FluoroMax®), or be custom tailored to fit any fluorescence sensitivity requirements, wavelength region, time discrimination, sample parameters, or special accessories you might encounter in your fluorescence research (FluoroLog®). Or, if you need to build your own luminescence systems, we'll guide you on your way.
Macrosampling or microscopy and mapping, you'll find the fluorescence spectroscopy system you need in the pages to follow.

Steady-State Fluorescence
The FluoroMax®-4 is a compact spectrofluorometer from HORIBA Scientific, yet it offers the ultimate sensitivity in fluorescence investigations as well as features not found in most table-top fluorescence detection systems. The FluoroMax®-4 now has 33% higher sensitivity and 20% better signal-to-noise ratio than the FluoroMax®-3! Also available are the FluoroMax-4P® for phosphorescence measurements and TCSPC upgrades for fluorescence lifetimes.
The FluoroLog®-3 spectrofluorometer is the ultimate in modular research system, designed to perform analyses over the ultraviolet and visible regions of the spectrum as well as far into the IR.
The only simultaneous absorbance and fluorescence system for water quality analysis!
Fluorescence Lifetime - Frequency Domain
HORIBA Scientific introduces a new instrument: the MF2. Fluorescence scientists now have an important tool to help understand real-time natural processes.
Fluorescence Lifetime - Time Domain
The World's Most Sensitive Spectrofluorometer, with TCSPC ready to perform time-domain lifetime spectroscopy!
The FluoroCube combines the latest miniaturized light source and detector technology with proven TCSPC electronics and automation to offer the most flexible and user-friendly photon counting lifetime system available today.
The TemPro lifetime system is so affordable that any lab can now exploit the power of fluorescence dynamics using time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC), the most sensitive method for fluorescence measurements.
Nanotechnology
The NanoLog® series of spectrofluorometers are specifically designed for research in nanotechnology and the frontiers of nanomaterials. Based on the world-wide proven technology of the FluoroLog®, the NanoLog® detects fluorescence in the near-IR from 800 to 1700 nm (optional multi-channel detection to 2µm, single-channel detection to 3 µm), with visible and UV options possible. With the NanoLog® comes specially designed software ideal for classifying SWNTs, performing energy-transfer calculations, and saving custom routines and instrument layouts. A complete spectrum can be scanned as fast as a few milliseconds, and a full excitation-emission matrix scan can be taken in as little as seconds.
Microscopy & Mapping
DynaMyc is the user friendly instrument for investigating dynamic events in microscopic samples, such as energy transfer and molecular binding. HORIBA Scientific, leader in fluorescence spectroscopy, offers an advanced system to apply time resolved fluorescence spectroscopy on the micron-scale.
Why HORIBA Scientific?
The SPEX® and IBH tradition of high-performance fluorescence spectroscopy instrumentation is carried on by HORIBA Scientific, which also keeps the name of SLM-Aminco® alive. SPEX® spectrofluorometers offer full automation, making experiments easy and reducing the chance of operator error. There are cheaper fluorescence instruments but none with the same sensitivity, range, speed and accuracy. From flashlamps to laser diodes, UV to NIR, picosecond light sources to seconds, modules to turn-key systems, HORIBA Scientific offers the widest range of products to the fluorescence lifetime community.
Confused by Water Raman Signal/Noise specifications?
The Water Raman Test is a convenient way to compare spectrofluorometers but does everyone measure it the same way?
Fluorescence Lifetime Measurements
HORIBA Scientific is the only manufacturer that can offer both Time-Domain and Frequency-Domain fluorescence lifetime systems.
Accessories
The SPEX® fluorescence range includes a comprehensive list of Accessories to meet all of your fluorescence spectroscopy measurement requirements. Whether you're doing FRET, TRES, Anisotropy, Quenching, Kinetics or Spectral Mapping, our powerful FluorEssence™ Software is available for your application.
