Fluorometer: What’s it for?

This equipment is an optical device, used in laboratories to observe and measure the quality of fluorescence in biological or mineral samples; its characteristic feature is that sensitivity to specific wavelengths of light can be measured by the use of filters, depending on what is being studied.

Fluorescence analyses are used to identify the presence and quantity of specific molecules present in a sample, and some advanced fluorometers can detect very low concentrations of fluorescent molecules, which is why this equipment is so important in biology laboratories and in plant ecophysiology research.

To use the Fluorometer

Depending on the type of fluorometer, we can establish that some can be very sensitive, which is advantageous for use in precision scientific research. This equipment uses optical filters that are relatively inexpensive and easy to change, which is why filter fluorometers are commonly used in experimental applications that need to repeatedly measure different compounds.

On the other hand, spectrofluorometers are mainly used to investigate the photochemistry of biological systems, i.e. to determine the presence of fluorescent chlorophyll, and to study reaction kinetics and lipid-protein interactions. To determine water quality by measuring organic matter, to establish the authenticity of wines, to study the luminescence of LEDs and the photoluminescence of solar cells, and finally to research the properties of Graphene.

Features of the KALSTEIN fluorometer

KALSTEIN fluorometer applications

This is an advanced piece of equipment designed with high-quality materials, covering the most demanding requirements in fields such as chemistry, biochemistry, medicine and environmental monitoring, its applications go a step further, being able to measure the absorbance of all ingredients such as DNA, RNA, among others, of the sample at 260 nm.

Other applications may be general, but our team intensifies certain fluorometer requirements, such as measuring the fluorescence intensity of the fluorescent reagent, which is combined with the target molecule to read the concentration of the sample; this means that the reading is lower than that of the Nano series products, but it is much more accurate, another advantage is that our fluorometer is capable of measuring 0.5 pg/ul which favors the measurement of DNA concentration.
