Ultra Fast TCSPC Lifetime Fluorometer

Ultra Fast TCSPC Lifetime Fluorometer
Our Ultra-Fast TCSPC Lifetime Fluorometer is an advanced instrument that measures the fluorescence lifetime of a sample with very high time resolution. TCSPC stands for Time-Correlated Single Photon Counting, is a technique that allows for the detection and analysis of photon arrival times after excitation by a short pulse of light. It can detect events with extremely high precision, often down to picoseconds (10⁻¹² seconds), allowing for the measurement of rapid fluorescence decay processes of quantum dots, highly sensitive and provides valuable information about the molecular environment, energy transfer processes, and interactions within the dot
Fluorometer

Fluorometer
Our fluorometer measures the fluorescence properties of the dots. It works by exciting the dots with a specific wavelength of light and then detecting and analyzing the light that the dots emits as it relaxes back to its ground. The FluoroMax Plus is the latest generation of the original, high performance tabletop fluorometer, which offers extended performance with detection of emission spectra out to 1700 nm.
UV-Vis Spectrophotometer

UV-Vis Spectrophotomer
The UV-Vis Spectrophotometer is commonly used to analyze quantum dots. it provide important information about their optical properties, particularly the absorption characteristics, which are size-dependent in these nanoscale materials. A typical UV-Vis spectrum of quantum dots shows one or more distinct peaks corresponding to different electronic transitions, such as the first excitonic transition, which is directly related to the quantum dot’s size.
Synthesis Equipment

Synthesis Equipment: Schlenk lines
Schlenk line is a essential piece of equipment in the synthesis of quantum dots providing a controlled environment that ensures the integrity and success of the reactions. It allows for the safe handling of reagents that are sensitive to oxygen or moisture
Glove box

Glove box
The glovebox is an essential tool for the synthesis of high-quality colloidal semi-conductor quantum dots, providing the necessary controlled environment, safe handling of air- sensitive precursors, and prevention of contamination. Quantum dot synthesis often requires a tightly controlled environment to prevent oxidation and degradation of the materials. A glovebox provides an inert atmosphere, typically filled with nitrogen or argon, which keeps out oxygen and moisture. This is essential for the successful synthesis of high-quality quantum dots.
Our Department provides shared facilities such as Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR).
