Built for more then routine, ready for research
Expand research possibilities through modular instrument configuration
No stimulation or irradiation crosstalk
Integrated 80-position carousel allowing true 24/7 operation
Features & Benefits
Modular instrument configuration: Interchangeable OSL stimulation units (up to three wavelengths), supporting multiple detection units and irradiation sources (Alpha, Beta and X-ray)
No stimulation or irradiation crosstalk: Independent operation of measurement chamber and sample changer
Software-controlled detection filters: Automatic filter exchange within programmed measurement sequences
Homogeneous optical stimulation: Light configuration ensures homogeneous illumination for all measurements
Feedback-stabilized OSL stimulation: Individual control loops for each LED or laser diode allow high reproducibility
Nonstop operation: Ability to load and unload samples while another sample is undergoing analysis/treatment inside the measurement chamber
Accessibility: IP based system allows remote operation and technical support from anywhere in the world
Easy upgrade: Modular design allows future expansion of device capabilities by easily adding components
The system combines a robust core setup – sample carousel, detector changer, OSL unit, irradiation source, PMT and filter wheel – with a modular design that enables flexible customization using components like special PMTs, filters, (EM)CCDs, Spectrograph and more.
