Luma 40/PQ

Peltier-based temperature-controlled cuvette holder for the PicoQuant FluoTime 250 or FluoTime 300 Fluorescence Lifetime Spectrometers
Product Overview

The Luma 40/PQ is a temperature-controlled cuvette holder for use in the PicoQuant FluoTime 250 or FluoTime 300 Fluorescence Lifetime Spectrometers. Use the Luma 40/PQ for normal temperature ranges of -15 °C to +105 °C. Add a Windowed Jacket, purge with dry gas and run the temperature down to at least -40 °C. Purchase the extended temperature option and extend the range up to +150 °C. Fluorescence is sensitive to temperature and reliable measurements require the precise temperature control of the Luma 40/PQ. PicoQuant provides sophisticated control for the Luma 40/PQ. If your experiments require such control, please contact PicoQuant.
