qpod
Temperature-Controlled Sample Compartment for Fiber Optic Spectroscopy
Newest in our product line, the qpod™ consists of a temperature control cuvette holder surrounded by optical components for delivering or collecting light using fiber optics.  Three configurations are available:

CUV-qpod-ABSKIT—a kit for absorbance, transmittance or turbidity measurements
CUV-qpod-FLKIT—a kit for fluorescence measurements
CUV-qpod-MPKIT—a multipurpose kit for absorbance or fluorescence measurements

Please see a slide show introducing this new product.

The qpod product line replaces the earlier TLC 50F. We can no longer supply the TLC 50F itself, but we will be pleased to continue supporting existing units. Please contact us if you would like to purchase components for the earlier systems.

Summary of Features
Rapid and precise temperature control over a wide range of temperatures from -30 °C to +105 °C ± 0.05 °C (controllable to even lower temperatures under special conditions)
Calibrated against a NIST-traceable thermometer with performance data provided
Designed for standard 1 x 1 cm square cuvettes or standard microcuvettes
Variable speed magnetic stirring to maintain uniform sample temperature
Dry gas purge to reduce condensation when working at low temperatures
Light tight cover with access cap providing a means of holding a thermistor probe in the cuvette
Collimating optics available for straight through absorbance measurements
Imaging optics available for efficient excitation and light collection for fluorescent samples
Spherical mirror plugs available for enhancing excitation or emitted light
All optical components have focusing and position adjustments to maximize light throughput
Optical slits provided for limiting light access to the cuvette as needed
Filter holders for 12.5 mm diameter filters available for mounting on lens assemblies
Polarizer available for fluorescence measurements
Input jack on temperature controller to accept a thermistor probe for measuring sample temperature
