Fluorescence
Our simulators are based on the technique of Time-Correlated Single Photon Counting (TCSPC)
Enable Students With
Fluorescence products
Our teaching packs contain a fluorescence lifetime spectrometer simulator, flasks, chemicals, solvents, pipettes, & experimental procedures, in fact all you need to perform an experiment – & you don’t need to leave your computer screen!e!
We have two fluorescence simulation products available. More information can be found on this page.
Want to demo the fluorescence simulator? Simply download our windows software and try our evaluation copies here.
Experiment 1: Arrhenius Behaviour
Our simulation software allows the student to prepare a luminescent solution and observe its fluorescence decay over the temperature range 20 ºC to 60 ºC via a fluorescence lifetime spectrometer. Ultimately, the rate constants for fluorescence and the activation energy for the process can be derived.
Experiment 2: Stern-Volmer Quenching
Our simulation software allows the student to prepare a fluorophore in two solvents of very different viscosity. The effect of viscosity on the quenching rate constant can then be assessed by measuring fluorescence decays as a function of quencher concentration in each solvent.
