qX3/Horiba4
Air-cooled, Peltier-controlled cuvette holder for the Horiba FluoroLog, FluoroMax or Aqualog 3 or 4 SpectrofluorometerThe qX3/Horiba4 is a temperature-controlled cuvette holder with three optical ports for Horiba FluoroLog® or FluoroMax® (Series 3 or 4), and the Aqualog® or Nanolog® Spectrofluorometers. The qX3/Horiba4 is fully integrated into the Horiba spectrofluorometer and controlled by its FluorEssence™ software. The qX3/Horiba is mounted on a floorplate and blue front panel with utilities (wires and tubes) brought to the panel for easy access. Use the qX3/Horiba4 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/Horiba4 from 0 °C down to -35 °C. Purchase the extended temperature option to extend operation above 110 °C to 150 °C. Control the qX3/Horiba4, using the TC 1B Temperature Controller included in the purchase price. For additional control and temperature monitoring, use Quantum Northwest’s computer control software, T-App, available for purchase. While we can provide this product to users of older Horiba fluorometers, those who wish full functionality should make their purchases from Horiba. If you purchase from us, control the qX3/ISS, using the TC 1B Temperature Controller included in the purchase price. For additional control and temperature monitoring, use Quantum Northwest’s computer control software, T-App, available for purchase. If you would like to integrate with Horiba software, you will need to work with Horiba.
