Applications

This application note shows the potential application of a plate reader on an FLS1000 and fluorescence lifetime analysis using batch analysis and global analysis.

In this application note, an FLS1000 Photoluminescence Spectrometer is used to characterise the PL spectrum and lifetime of singlet oxygen in solution. Different excitation sources and detectors are compared to determine the best FLS1000 configuration for singlet oxygen detection.

How can FTIR spectroscopy be used to identify the active pharmaceutical ingredients in antihistamine medications?

In this Application Note, the optoelectronic properties of an OLED device are mapped using an RMS1000 Confocal Raman Microscope in spectral and time-resolved photoluminescence and electroluminescence imaging modes. These techniques enable the characterisation of the OLED in much greater detail than is possible with bulk measurements.  

One of the most powerful techniques to understand the behaviour and performance of electrical devices is electroluminescence spectroscopy. In this application note the FLS1000 Photoluminescence Spectrometer is used to investigate the emission properties of a phosphor coated indium gallium nitride white light LED using both steady state and time-resolved electroluminescence spectroscopy.

Perovskite photovoltaic cells are exposed to a wide range of temperatures and it is therefore important to understand the influence of temperature on the properties of the perovskite. In this application note, the FLS1000 spectrometer equipped with the liquid nitrogen cryostat accessory is used to determine the phase transition temperatures of MAPI perovskite.

Fluorescence spectroscopy is a powerful tool to investigate the photochemistry of biological systems. In this application note the influence of temperature on the photochemistry of perennial leaves is investigated by measuring the fluorescence quantum yield over a temperature range of 77 K to 300 K using the FLS1000 equipped with the Cryosphere accessory.

A powerful method for determining the kinetics of a reaction is by monitoring the concentration of the reactants or products over time using stopped-flow fluorescence spectroscopy. In this application note, the kinetics of NATA quenching by QBS are determined using the FLS1000 Photoluminescence Spectrometer equipped with the stopped-flow accessory.

Plastics are widely used daily and are among the primary pollutants on the planet. A solution to prevent environmental pollution due to plastics is to identify their type and dispose of or recycle them appropriately. ATR-FTIR is a simple and robust spectroscopic technique that enables rapids plastics identification based on the characteristic IR spectrum of each sample. In this application note, an Edinburgh Instruments IR5 FTIR Spectrometer was used to identify four different plastic samples successfully.

This application note demonstrates the use of ATR-FTIR spectroscopy for the analysis of human serum albumin. An IR5 FTIR spectrometer was used, equipped with a heated ATR accessory, to help tackle the issue of strong water absorption bands masking the IR bio-spectrum.
