Buyer's Guide

Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has emerged as a valuable analytical technique, especially in the fields of material research, chemistry and photomedicine. Powerful NIR capabilities are available through PTI as either a stand-alone research grade fluorometer or as an upgrade to PTI’s UV-VIS steady state spectrofluorometers.

PTI offers three types of base systems.

1. NIR-PMT Based SteadyState Systems
2. NIR InGaAs Based SteadyState Systems
3. NIR-PMT Based Phosphorescence Systems

NIR-PMT Based SteadyState Systems
Comprised of a high intensity continuous xenon light source, scanning monochromators, and a cooled NIR PMT detector. Available in four models: a) basic 950- 1400 nm, b) UV enhanced 300- 1400 nm, c) NIR enhanced 950-1700nm or d) UV and NIR enhanced 300-1700 nm for the maximum spectral range coverage.

NIR-InGaAs Based SteadyState Systems
Comprised of a high intensity xenon light source, scanning monochromators, a high sensitivity TE-cooled InGaAs detector, electronics, lock-in amplifier and chopper for noise suppression. The system provides unmatched NIR capability from 500 to 1700 nm or an extended version out to 2.2 microns.

NIR-PMT Based Phosphorescence Systems
Comprised of a high intensity xenon flash light source, scanning monochromators, a high sensitivity gated TE-cooled NIR PMT detector available in four models: a) basic 950-1400 nm, b) UV enhanced 300-1400 nm, c) NIR enhanced 950-1700 nm or d) UV and NIR enhanced 300-1700 nm for the maximum spectral range coverage.

General Applications

General Information

Our fluorometers feature an Open Architecture configuration. This modular design approach provides the opportunity for you to customize the system for your experimental needs and budget. You can optimize the initial configuration by choosing the light source, gratings, PMT detectors, as well as a wide array of available accessories. The number of available configurations is limitless!

Expand your system at a later date to accommodate your most current research direction. Add additional light sources, detectors, or even couple your fluorometer to your microscope. No matter what fluorescence measurement capability you start with, from UV-VIS steady state to time resolved, you can always add other capabilities at a later date. There is no need to buy a new system or any additional software. Our complete software package is already prepared for additional measurement capabilities.
