qX3/FLS1000

Air-cooled, Peltier-controlled cuvette holder for the Edinburgh Instruments FLS1000 Photoluminescence Spectrometer
Product Overview

The qX3/FLS1000 is a temperature-controlled cuvette holder with three optical ports. This model is adapted for mounting in the FLS1000 (or 980) Photoluminescence Spectrometer of Edinburgh Instruments and used for measurement of both steady state and time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy. Please purchase this product from Edinburgh Instruments, who can provide sophisticated full control of this product. Use the qX3/FLS1000 to set and maintain precise sample temperatures and stir at a steady reproducible rate, while bathing the cuvette in a controlled gaseous environment. Although dependent on rapid, precise Peltier technology, no circulating water is required for normal operation from 0 °C to 110 °C. Purchase the low temperature option, consisting of a windowed vest and capability for liquid cooling, and operate the qX3/FLS1000 from 0 °C down to -35 °C. Purchase the extended temperature option to extend operation above 110 °C to 150 °C. The qX3/FLS1000 is controlled using the TC 1B Temperature Controller included in the purchase price.
