NIR spectrometer Quantaurus-Tau®

fluorescencefor researchLED

Product overview
The Quantaurus-Tau is a compact system for measuring fluorescence lifetimes from the sub-nanosecond to millisecond range. Operation is simple: place the sample in the sample chamber and set measurement conditions in the software to obtain fluorescence lifetime and photoluminescence (PL) spectra with high precision. Typical analysis results are available in approximately 60 seconds.

Key features

• Quick measurement workflow: sample placement and four software settings yield emission lifetime results.
• Seven LED excitation wavelengths: 280, 340, 365, 405, 470, 590, 630 nm.
• Supports multiple sample forms: thin films, solids, solutions and powders.
• Two detector options: Standard (300–800 nm) and NIR (380–1030 nm).
• Compact design with integrated software for excitation switching and automated analysis.

Applications

• Organic metal complexes
• Fluorescent probes
• Perovskite photovoltaic materials
• OLED material evaluation
• Quantum dots
• LED phosphor evaluation

Operation / Measurement
Measure fluorescence lifetime and PL spectra by placing the sample in the chamber and controlling the measurement via the software. Excitation switching and acquisition are performed by the software. Analysis functions include multi-component exponential fitting (up to five components) and spectrum analysis.

Included/optional detector selection

• C16361-01: Standard detector, 300 nm – 800 nm.
• C16361-02: NIR detector, 380 nm – 1030 nm.
