PHOTON DETECTION Optical fiber panel (sold separately) Dispenser unit Sample holder unit Microtube unit The C9692 series Photon Detection Units are photon count- ing units designed to make low-light measurements at sin- gle photon levels without a time-consuming measurement setup. All users need to do is prepare the sample the users want to measure and a personal computer (PC). Six models are available so the users can select one that best meets your application. When combined with optional modular units the C9692 is ideal for various types of measurement. The USB interface allows simple plug & play setup when connecting the C9692 •Bioluminescence, chemiluminescence •Food oxidation, antioxidant activity luminescence •Activated cell luminescence •UV-excited (UV LED) delayed fluorescence (C9692-13) •Other low-light-level measurements Sample holder unit light source unit Sample holder unit •Photon counting with high S/N ratio •Computer control •Optical fiber (FC type) compatible (C9692-H) Automatically closes optical shutter to prevent ex- cessive light from entering PMT if sample compart- ment is accidentally opened during measurement. •Built-in UV LED excitation light source (C9G92-13) Light source wavelength: 375 nm Irradiation time: 0.1 to 3600 seconds Dispenses two types of reagents using syringe (C9692-14),

Evaluating compost maturity Organic farming is the focus of much recent attention, and is a field where the market value of good quality compost is on the rise. To ensure that good quality compost can be quickly supplied when needed, photon detection units are used in research to develop techniques for determining compost maturity during the compost purification process. Focusing on the fact that good quality compost is oxidized excrement, researchers added oxygen to liquid extracted from compost during the fermentation process to accelerate oxidation of residual organic matter and then rated...

Comparing the luminescence level in the APT method with the koji aspergillus body mass, they show similar changes up to 32 consecutive hours of rice koji cultivation. Changes in the rice body mass and enzymatic activity (alpha-amylase) are major quality indicators of koji aspergillus...
