The NanoDrop® ND-3300 Fluorospectrometer is a multi-source optical instrument for measuring fluorescence. This space-saving fluorometer offers exclusive features that allow investigators the flexibility to use fluorometry in valuable new ways.
The uniquely clean optics of the patented retention system, combined with virtual filtering (see below) for the white LED applications, enables measurements across a wide range of wavelengths using sample volumes of 1-2 ul without cuvettes and costly filter changes.
The excitation source comes from one of the three solid-state LEDs housed in a block adjacent to the measurement pedestal (see below for more details about the LEDs). Emitted light is collected using the traditional 90° angle from the respective excitation source. A 2048-element CCD array detector, covering 400-750nm, is connected by an optical fiber to the optical measurement surface. The spectrometer is configured with a cut filter to eliminate light transmission below 395 nm.
