Fluorescence System Offers Shortest Lifetime Resolution on the Market
16 Jun 2015
HORIBA Scientific, global leader in Fluorescence spectroscopy systems, recently launched the new Ultima TCSPC Fluorescence Lifetime system, optimized for short lifetime measurements.
The new Ultima fluorometer combines the latest in high temporal resolution TCSPC electronics, interchangeable high speed light sources and detector technologies, and HORIBA Scientific’s FluoroCube, the most flexible dedicated lifetime optical platform, to offer the highest performance photon counting lifetime system available.
The Ultima’s 400 fs/point time resolution enables it to measure the shortest lifetimes of any comparable commercial system. Its measurement range of 100 ns to seconds, flexibility of 16k time channels, and simplicity of a USB PC connection also make the Ultima the easiest to use. The Ultima can also be configured for use with MCPs, fs lasers, NIR detectors and excitation and emission monochromators to support virtually any experimental configuration.
“For customers who routinely measure lifetimes below 100ps, our new Ultima TCSPC offers unprecedented short lifetime performance with exceptional flexibility and ease-of use.” said Ishai Nir, Director of the Fluorescence division at HORIBA Scientific. “Together with our fastest lifetime acquisition Delta Series, HORIBA now offers the highest performance solutions on the market today for every type of fluorescence lifetime measurements.”

ULTIMA Expert ICP-OES
HORIBA ScientificULTIMA Expert is designed with a unique plasma torch that offers a radial viewing mode far superior to competitive systems, thanks to the measurement of the entire normal analytical zone. The vertical torch, the original sheath gas device and the wide injector make the ULTIMA Expert more tolerant to difficult matrices, and offer the benefits of robust operation with minimal maintenance. High resolution and excellent sensitivity allow elements with high, low and trace concentrations to be measured accurately. ULTIMA Expert delivers the highest resolution with less than 5 picometers for the UV range and less than 10 picometers for the visible range, all due to its unique optical design which integrates a high density holographic grating and one meter focal length optics. Thermally stabilized optics ensure excellent long-term stability of the measurements. Full wavelength coverage from 120 to 800nm satisfies all the requirements for elemental analysis, including far UV capability for halogen analysis. Powerful software, with unique comprehensive tools offers advanced user guidance from sample to results. Image Navigator software provides qualitative and semi-quantitative analysis of unknown samples based on full spectrum acquisition, S3-base and MASTER for facilitated method development, and an uncertainty calculation tool for calibration quality improvement. The Analyst software provides full instrument control and advanced features for method development, analysis and results management. The robustness of the ULTIMA Expert makes it ideal for demanding applications such as mining, salt production, wear metals in oil analysis, petrochemical, metallurgical and chemical manufacture. The ULTIMA Expert comes with accessories for multiple demanding applications to further enhance its automation and functionality.
