FluoroHub A+
Overview
The FluoroHub A+ is the perfect tool for research labs routinely measuring fluorescence lifetimes <100ps. The FluoroHub A+ is also the best controller to fully take advantage of the available performance of MCP based TCSPC systems.
The FluoroHub A+ is simple to operate. It connects to any PC or laptop via a single USB 2.0 connection, since it does not require any PCI slots. This module measures lifetimes over 11 orders of magnitude without any additional cards or costly upgrades—perfect for multi-user facilities with many different application needs. And the entire system is controlled from our easy to use DataStation software.
For the ultimate performance in sub 100 ps lifetime measurements
- Best timing resolution: 400fs/point
- Low jitter: <3ps RMS
- Shortest lifetime: 5ps
- Large measurement range: 5ns to 22s
Features
- solve lifetimes from 5ps to 1 second (depending on source and detector)
- Comprehensive sate-of-the-art analysis software
- USB 2.0 data link
- Ultra-low timing jitter (<10ps)
- Connection to other components such as our optional DeltaDiode Picosecond light sources controller via downstream USB socket
- Direct connection to our proprietary SpectraLED phosphorescence sources
- Optional driver card for our NanoLED nanosecond light sources for legacy systems
Applications
- FRET (Förster Resonance Energy Transfer)
- Stern-Volmer quenching
- Anisotropy
- Protein fluorescence
- Phosphorescence lifetimes and anisotropy
- Acquisition of short lifetimes
- Lanthanide luminescence
