PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Edit Content

Fluoracle controls all FLS1000, FS5, and Mini-tau series of steady state and time-resolved spectrometers with a straightforward design concept: to enable all modern photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy applications whilst providing a user-friendly interface with ‘ready to publish’ outputs. 

Whether you select a spectral scanning-only version of one of our spectrometer systems, or you go for an advanced version that includes time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) lifetime or quantum yield measurements, the software will provide all instrument options automatically, from data acquisition to analysis and presentation. Selection of sources and detection modes is quick and easy: it only takes one second to switch between spectral and time-resolved measurement modes. Fluoracle allows you to monitor the live signal ahead of measurement, so selecting and optimising parameters is quick and straightforward. 

Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM) acquisition and analysis are included in Fluoracle with a MicroPL upgrade. 

Fluoracle offers the FAST add-on for the advanced analysis of fluorescence and phosphorescence decay kinetics. 

PRODUCT VIDEO

Thanks to Fluoracle’s signal monitoring and easy switching between measurement modes, you can characterise the spectrum, lifetime, and quantum yield of a sample in just a few minutes. See Fluoracle in action in this virtual FS5 demo:

Spectral Measurements

Fluoracle Spectral Measurements

Temperature-dependent PL emission spectra from NaY0.77Yb0.20Er0.03F4. Fluoracle controls the temperature stage so that maps are automatically acquired.

TCSPC Lifetime

Fluoracle FLIM

Time-resolved electroluminescence decay of a white light InGaN LED acquired with TCSPC: time-resolved emission spectrum (left) and exponential fit result at 575 nm.

MCS Lifetime

Fluoracle MCS

Multichannel scaling (MCS) decay of CzDBA and biexponential fit result. tp = prompt fluorescence lifetime, td = delayed fluorescence lifetime.

Quantum Yield

Fluoracle Quantum Yield

Quantum yield measurement from upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs). The calculated upconversion quantum yield result is 0.014%.

Anisotropy

Fluoracle Anisotropy

Time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy for a dye in glycerol at different temperatures. Instrument response function plotted in grey.

Chromaticity

Fluoracle Chromaticity Fluoracle Chromaticity

Photoluminescence spectrum and corresponding CIE 1931 chromaticity plot of α-(DMEN)PbBr4 calculated using Fluoracle.

 

FLIM

Fluoracle FLIM

Photoluminescence intensity map of a halide perovskite surface acquired with FluoracleMap software (included with MicroPL accessory).
