JASCO’s New FP-8000 Series Spectrofluorometers and More

JASCO will be featuring the new FP-8000 series of spectrofluorometers during Pittcon 2011, at Booth #3159. Building upon the powerful capabilities of the FP-6000 series, the FP-8000 series instruments provide even greater features and technological innovations.

The JASCO FP-8000 Series spectrofluorometers incorporate the highest sensitivity, fastest spectral scanning capability and excellent analysis-oriented functionality offering integrated solutions for advanced materials research and biochemical analysis applications. To meet the most stringent analysis demands, a variety of accessories are available for integration with a range of sophisticated control and analysis applications available in the user-friendly Spectra Manager™ II software to offer a flexible platform for any luminescence application.

Top features of the FP-8000 series of spectrofluorometers include:

• Highest sensitivity (> 5000, RMS)
• Fastest scan speed (60,000 nm/min)
• Wide dynamic range (> 6.5 orders of magnitude)
• Auto-Gain and Auto-SCS (Sensitivity Control System)
• Automatic higher-order diffraction cut filter
• Rapid 3D spectra measurements
• Expanded features for phosphorescence measurements (lifetime measurements > 1 millisecond)

Additionally, JASCO will be presenting several oral sessions, poster presentations, and press conferences during the show. The JASCO schedule is as follows:
