Facility Features, Working Principle and Specifications

Facility Description

Facility Description

The Fluorescence Spectrophotometer offers the ultimate sensitivity in fluorescence or emission profile of the complex under investigation. The instrument is easy to use and is controlled by FluorEssence software with Origin embedded for sophisticated data analysis.

 

 

Features Working Principle

Features/ Accessories: 

  • Source: 150 W Ozone-free xenon arc lamp
  • Grating: 1200 groove/mm blazed at 330 nm (excitation) and 500 nm (emission), plane ruled. Automatic self-calibration of all wavelength drives and slits
  • Monochromators: All reflective optics, Czerny-Turner spectrometers
  • Water Raman S/N: 10,000:1 (FSD method). See Signal-to-noise ratio
  • Detectors: Multialkali PMT emission detector (200-870nm)
  • Liquid nitrogen cooled InGaAs detector (800-1550nm). It requires liquid N2 supply
  • Rapid Peltier controlled single sample holder, -15° to 105°C water circulator
  • Automated polarizers located at entrance and exit of sample compartment
  • SS sample holder for thin film, powder samples, pellets etc
  • FluorEssence software for control and data analysis

Instructions for Registration, Sample Preparation, User Instructions and Precautionary Measures

Instructions for Registration

User must discuss details about the sample and Experimental Parameters with the Technical Operator before the slot booking

Instruction for Sample Preparation
  • User must contact the Technical operator before booking slot and discuss the experimental parameter
  •  If Any reference material, solvents required are supplied by the user
  • Provide solid samples in the fine powder form. Minimum required amount is approximately 1-2 gm.
  •  Liquid Samples are prepared by user in appropriate concentration required for the experiment. The required minimum amount is 2-3 ml. 
  •  In case any additional Chemicals/ materials  required for recording the samples, Charges would be additional.

     

 

User Instructions and Precautionary Measures

MS-DS (Material Safety Data Sheet) should be given along with samples. Samples should not be toxic or hazardous.
