Spectrofluorometer
HORIBA Jobin Yvon's FluoroMax-4 benchtop spectrofluorometer reportedly features a sensitivity of at least 400,000 cps for the water-Raman peak at 397 nm and a signal-to-noiseratio of 3000:1 minimum. According to the company, the spectrofluorometer uses an ozone-free xenon arc lamp for broadband coverage from the UV to near-IR. Optionalaccessories include automatic polarizers, a stopped-flow device for kinetics, a microwellplate reader, and an autotitrator. HORIBA Jobin Yvon, Edison, NJ;
