K2 time-resolved spectrofluorometer - ISS - #1

The K2 family of instruments offers a solid, well-proven approach to fluorescence and phosphorescence instrumentation even for the most demanding research applications.

K2 is a frequency domain fluorometer with picosecond resolution. Its optical design and automatic instrument control are state-of-the-art for steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence measurements.

Ready-to-Use & User-Friendly Software

K2 includes Vinci-Multidimensional Fluorescence Spectroscopy, a powerful software package that provides several ready-to-use routines for reliable, user-friendlyacquisition ofcomplexfluorescencedata:

Spectra (excitation, emission, synchronous, time-resolved and polarization)

■ Measurements at fixed wavelengths (intensity and polarization)

■ Slowandfastkinetics

■ Time-resolved measurements (lifetimes and rotational correlation times)

Designed for Steady-State & Time-Resolved Applications
