SX20 Stopped-Flow Spectrometer Accessories - RC5.1 - 5µL Volume Low Dead-Time Cell
Accessories
The SX20 features a removable cell cartridge allowing the use of different optical cells to be fitted according to experimental requirements. In addition to the standard 20µL volume cell, a 5µL cell is available with a dead-time of around 0.5ms and which allows reliable measurement of rates in excess of 3500s-1.
Each cell is mounted in a pre-aligned cartridge for rapid interchange between cells. The 5µL cell has optical pathlengths of 1mm and 5mm for absorbance, and both observation ports are also suitable for fluorescence detection.
The procedure for changing the cell is straightforward: it takes less than 5 minutes and once fitted, no further optimisation and alignment is necessary.
The SX20 sample handling unit features a novel cell cartridge system that facilitates cartridge mounted optical cells that can be interchanged with a minimum of work. The figure shows a typical cell cartridge.
The Quench-Flow Adapter is fitted in the same way.
