B&W Tek, Inc., an advanced instrumentation company producing optical spectroscopy and laser systems, is proud to announce major enhancements to their Exemplar™ spectrometer series. The Exemplar and Exemplar LS are part of a smart series of spectrometers that feature on board data processing, USB 3.0 communication, and temperature compensation. The Exemplar Plus offers all of the same features with the addition of a TE Cooled CCD detector.

Now, the Exemplar series has been significantly improved in functionality and stability:
1) Trigger Delay (TD) for synchronization
2) Pulse Chain Outputs (PCO) for low intensity signals: extremely useful for induced low intensity signals such as multi-triggering of a light source for a weak florescence measurement.
3) Extremely stable burst mode for time of flight measurements

B&W Tek has also further improved its BWSpec software that can be seamlessly integrated with the use of the Exemplar series spectrometers.

For a limited time only, B&W Tek will be offering a free upgrade to any users of the original Exemplar series (BRC115) to the new upgraded versions (BRC115P). Please contact B&W Tek at 1-855-MY-BWTEK before February 14, 2014 to take advantage of this great deal.

Exemplar Plus ‒ High Performance Smart Spectrometer

B&W Tek, Inc.

The Exemplar® Plus is a high performance smart spectrometer utilizing a low stray light unfolded Czerny-Turner spectrograph It features a highly sensitive TE Cooled back-thinned (BT) CCD detector which is linearly summed for high dynamic range. Its long focal length, coupled with a high quantum efficiency detector, provides superior data quality over the entire 190-1100nm spectral range.The Exemplar Plus features a high signal to noise ratio, making it ideal for low light level applications, and also features a built-in shutter allowing for dark scan measurements, even while illuminated.As a member of the Exemplar product line, it features on board data processing and USB 3.0 communication. The Exemplar product line is also optimized for multi-channel operation featuring ultra-low trigger delay and gate jitter.Exemplar Plus ‒ High Performance Smart Spectrometer Features: Smart on-board processing including averaging, smoothing, and dark compensation “SuperSpeed” USB 3.0 communication Supports up to 32 devices with ultra-low trigger delay (14ns) & gate jitter (+/- 1ns) High UV, Vis, and NIR Response 2048 Detector Elements Over 60% QE at 200nm 0° TE Cooling (Default) Over 90% Peak QE Built-in Shutter
