※WithHARPIA-TAWhen used in conjunction with the host, a single monochromator can be used for time-resolved absorption and fluorescence measurements without the need to replace the detector. Other monochromator options are also available, such as the dual subtraction monochromator for higher TCSPC time resolution
HARPIA-TF is a time-resolved fluorescence measurement module that combines fluorescence upconversion and TCSPC technology. In fluorescence upconversion, the signal from the sample is mixed with femtosecond gate pulses in a nonlinear crystal to achieve high temporal resolution, which is limited by the duration of the gate pulses and ranges from 250 fs. For fluorescence decay times exceeding 150 ps, the instrument can be used in time-dependent single photon counting (TCSPC) mode to measure dynamic trajectories in the range of 200 ps-2 μ s. The HARPIA-TF module supports Becker&Hickle TCSPC devices and detectors.
The combination of these two time-resolved fluorescence techniques can measure spectral resolved fluorescence attenuation in the femtosecond to microsecond range.
By using high repetition rate PHAROS or CARBIDE lasers, fluorescence kinetics can be measured while exciting the sample with low pulse energy up to several nanojoules.
