SX20 Stopped-Flow Spectrometer
Overview
The SX20 is the latest model in our best selling SX-series of stopped-flow instruments. It offers unsurpassed speed and sensitivity, powerful and flexible software for control and analysis, and a comprehensive range of accessories.
- Optimised for both absorbance and fluorescence detection without the need for reconfiguration. Dedicated detectors are provided for each technique.
- Unsurpassed sensitivity: ultra stable Xe light source and high photometric accuracy.
- Programmable monochromator enabling acquisition of time-resolved absorbance spectra and steady-state spectral acquisition.
- Removable cell cartridge with a 20µL volume, 1.1ms dead-time cell (other cells can be fitted). The cell is optimised for both absorbance and fluorescence detection with optical pathlengths of 10mm and 2mm, and both long and short optical pathlengths for fluorescence detection. A short pathlength is essential for many fluorescence applications in order to avoid self-absorption (inner filtering).
- Minimum sample volume requirement of 40µL per syringe.
- Pro-Data control software running on Windows™ XP with comprehensive acquisition, display and analysis tools. Standard features include: wavelength scanning, repeat drives for signal averaging, acquisition of time-resolved spectra, live signal display, linear- logarithmic- and split-timebase, digital oversampling, temperature-dependent scanning and kinetics capability.
- Flow circuit materials suitable for anaerobic experiments and resistant to aggressive reagents.
- Very wide temperature range (+60°C to -20°C).
- Flat-screen monitor and network ready PC.
- Full range of accessories available
- Chirascan now has a dedicated stopped-Flow accessory optimized for stopped-flow circular dichroism measurements.
- Older SX-series instruments can be upgraded to the new Pro-Data system electronics and software.
