Fluorometers (Fluorimeters)

Key Takeaways

• A fluorometer measures fluorescence emitted by a sample after excitation with UV, visible, or near-infrared light.
• Fluorescence spectroscopy is one of the most sensitive analytical techniques for molecular characterization, trace analysis, and material research.
• HORIBA offers fluorometers ranging from compact benchtop instruments to advanced modular research systems.
• Applications include life sciences, biopharmaceuticals, environmental analysis, nanotechnology, semiconductor research, materials science, and forensics.

Introduction

Fluorescence measurements can reveal information about molecular structure, concentration, interactions between molecules, environmental conditions, and material properties, making fluorescence spectroscopy an essential tool for modern research and analytical laboratories.

A fluorometer, also called a fluorimeter or spectrofluorometer, is an analytical instrument that measures the fluorescence produced when a sample absorbs light and re-emits it at a different wavelength. Because many materials produce unique fluorescence signatures, fluorometers are widely used to identify, characterize, and quantify compounds with exceptional sensitivity.

Our fluorometers can accommodate any size work area, and are available as compact or benchtop models, or as large modular systems, to suit your requirements. In addition, our fluorometers can be coupled to become modular fluorometer systems, or supercontinuum white-light laser-powered lifetime fluorometers.
