USB4000-FL-450 and USB4000-FL-395 Spectrofluorometers
|
The USB4000-FL Spectrofluorometers are preconfigured, fully integrated fluorescence
spectrometers. The USB4000-FL-450 comes with a USB-LS-450
direct-attach light source while the USB4000-FL-395 comes with an LS-395 LED Module.
These spectrofluorometers can be used
for general fluorescence measurements.
The USB4000-FL-450 is available for $3523.
The USB4000-FL-395 is available for $3523
The USB4000-FL
spectrofluorometers cover the 360-1100
nm wavelength range. They feature a 200 µm entrance aperture and an
L4 Detector Collection Lens to increase light-collection efficiency
and reduce stray light.
|
The direct-attach USB-LS-450 Pulsed Blue
LED Light Source is designed as an excitation source that produces either
pulsed or continuous output centered at 470 nm for fluorescence
measurements.
The direct-attach USB-LS-395 produces either pulsed or
continuous output centered at 395 nm.
Programmable Microcontroller
The USB4000-FL
Spectrofluorometers' onboard programmable microcontroller provides you with
considerable flexibility in controlling the spectrometer and accessories.
Through a 22-pin connector, you can implement all operating parameters in
the software: control light sources, create processes, and retrieve
information on external objects. You have access to 8 user-programmable
digital Inputs/Outputs for interfacing to other equipment. (Contact an Applications Scientist regarding what you'll need to
program the GPIOs.)
Optimal
Performance
The USB4000-FL Spectrofluormeter provides you with an affordable,
high-performance 3648-element linear CCD-array detector with an optical
bench that's small enough to fit into the palm of your hand. The
USB4000-FL works the same way as other Ocean Optics spectrometers; it accepts light energy transmitted through single-strand optical
fiber and disperses it via a fixed grating across the linear CCD array
detector, which is responsive from 200-1100 nm.
Plug and Play Operation
The USB4000-FL
spectrofluorometers interface to a PC, PLC or other embedded controllers
via USB 2.0 or RS-232 serial port. When using the serial port, the
USB4000-FL requires a
single 5-volt power supply (not included). Data unique to each
spectrometer is programmed into a memory chip on the USB4000-FL; our
spectrometer operating software reads these values for easy setup and hot
swapping among PCs.

USB-LS-450 and USB-LS-395 LED Module
The LED modules connect to the USB4000-FL Spectrometer via a
10-pin connector on the front of the spectrometer. The spectrometer provides power to the
LED and also enables synchronization
functions and I2C communications.
In addition, the USB-LS-450
and USB-LS-395 feature a built-in,
24-bit analog-to-digital converter with an analog front end that is
configured for a 100 ohm platinum RTD (resistance temperature device).
This is particularly useful when configured as part of a Fiber Optic
Oxygen Sensor. In fact, the unit has on-board memory to store temperature
calibration coefficients and oxygen calibration coefficients.
The LED modules can provide 4-20 mA output via a daughter card, making it
especially useful for process applications.
The USB-LS-450 wavelength range is
460-490 nm. The USB-LS-395 wavelength range is 380-410 nm.
User's Tip: The
LED module boards allow for software-controlled switching between pulsed
and CW operation of the LED.
