Four new pulsed LEDs in the ultraviolet (280, 295, 310, 340 nm) are ideal for exciting natural fluorescent molecules and proteins like tyrosine, tryptophan and NADH
PicoQuant announces the release of four additions to the range of available pulsed light sources.
The PLS 280, PLS 295, PLS 310 and PLS 340 extend the available wavelength range and open new doors for entirely new applications in bioanalysis, biochemistry, genetics, optical storage, semiconductor characterisation and quality control.
The new pulsed LEDs are ideal for exciting natural fluorescent molecules and proteins like tyrosine, tryptophan and NADH.
Furthermore these light sources can replace bulky laser systems like nitrogen lasers, excimer lasers, or inefficient flash lamps.
The pulsed LEDs feature an average output power up to 2uW (depending on wavelength) and a pulse width down to 500ps.
They are compatible with the PicoQuant PDL 800-B (one channel) and PDL 808 Sepia (multi-channel) diode laser drivers, which can run at repetition frequency from single shot up to 40MHz.
The UV-LEDs can be supplied in two versions, either optimised for high repetition rates up to 40MHz or optimised for maximum output power, but limited to a maximum repetition rate of 10MHz.
PicoQuant is a manufacturer of picosecond diode lasers, covering a rapidly growing section of the time-resolved fluorescence research market.
