To Measure Phosphorescence Decays 

One can measure phosphorescence decays as short as 1 microsecond (with deconvolusion) to as long as seconds. The instrument digitizes decay data from each lamp shot, so the acquisition is very rapid. Even with extensive averaging of hundreds of lamp shots, the decay curve can be acquired in less then a second.

For Great Sensitivity

PTI offers the most sensitive fluorimeter system that uses a pulsed light source for excitation. Nevertheless it is not as sensitive as our QuantaMaster™ 40 fluorescence system, which uses a continuous light source – but as we have said before if you need to measure phosphorescence decays you don’t have a choice. Don’t despair – you can make your QuantaMaster™ 30 into the most sensitive fluorometer on the planet by simply adding the Q-5H system enhancement. This option adds the continuous excitation source to your system.

For Ultimate in Versatility – Obsolescence Proof

The open architecture design allows for the ultimate in flexibility. You can add various excitation sources – including lasers and LED’s, you can expand the system to measure fluorescence lifetimes, polarization, temperature ramping – in fact you can add virtually anything that you need for fluorescence and phosphorescence type measurements. While everything wears out - the QuantaMaster™ 30 can be upgraded and updated.

To measure LRET or make other lanthanides measurements

The QuantaMaster™ 30 system equipped with a single shot transient digitizer detection is invaluable in boosting the detection sensitivity of otherwise almost undetectable europium emission obscured by fluorescence (trace at delay = 0) from organic ligand. By integrating the decay 200 microseconds away from the excitation pulse, a clean spectrum of europium ion is observed (trace at delay = 200 μs ), while the impurity fluorescence is completely suppressed.
