Ultimate Sensitivity The industry standard for sensitivity of a fluorometer is the signal-to-noise ratio calculated from a water Raman spectrum. Using this standardized test, our signal-to-noise ratio has been demonstrated to be the highest. The extreme sensitivity of the PTI QuantaMaster fluorometer is achieved with the lowest wattage lamp in the industry. This is a result of the intelligent engineering of the unique PTI PowerArc™ arc lamp illuminator featuring an ellipsoidal reflector with the highest possible light gathering efficiency of 67%, and focusing the light in a tight spot at...

With Single or Optional Double Additive Monochromators Suppression of stray light is one of the most critical factors when measuring highly scattering, or low quantum yield samples. Every PTI QuantaMaster 8000 series spectrofluorometer is custom made with the highest quality optics to insure the lowest amount of scatter. The standard 300 mm focal length asymmetrical CzernyTurner monochromators are coma-corrected and individually optimized for purpose as either excitation or emission monochromators, ensuring the lowest amount of stray light contamination for the best detection of the true...

Spectral Range and Signal Detection Excitation and Emission Correction For most applications, the typical detector employed is a PhotoMultiplier Tube (PMT). The standard PTI QuantaMaster 8000 configuration features a highly sensitive PMT, with the option of photon counting, analog, TCSPC and SSTD detector modes. The PTI QuantaMaster series offers you the ability to customize the system to meet your applications needs. Digital detection, or photon counting, offers the highest sensitivity as it records single photon events. The analog detection measures the current that is generated on the...
