ISS  ChronosDFD

Overview of ChronosDFD 

ChronosDFD for lifetime measurements in complex decays in less than 1 second is fully-automated through Vinci, a user-friendly, Windows-based software package.

Key Features of ChronosDFD

• Maximum Sensitivity
• Frequency Domain Measurements
• Fully Automated
• Integration of External Devices
• Upgradeable
• Flexible instrument configuration with a variety of light sources (laser diodes, LEDs and Ti:Sapphire laser)
• A compact footprint and short optical path length for maximum sensitivity and efficient light coupling into the sample
• Second to picosecond lifetime measurement capabilities
• Full automation of instrument components including: cuvette holder, polarizers, shutters, filterwheel, monochromators and stirrers
• PC-controlled integration of temperature path, titrator, stopped-flow apparatus and pressure pump
• Upgradable to a full steady-state instrument
• T-format and parallel beam optical design for fast and precise polarization measurements
• Powered by Vinci-Multidimensional Fluorescence Spectroscopy

Key Characteristics of Data Acquisition via Frequency-domain with ChronosDFD

• Fluorescence lifetime is calculated from two measureable parameters: phase angle and modulation
• Is a faster and less artifact-prone
• Allows one step measurements of anisotropy decays (rotational correlation times)
• Is better at resolving short lifetime contributions
• Is the method of choice for lifetime-based sensing and real-time measurements because of high sampling rates in the millisecond time scale
