Photoluminescence spectrometer upgrade.

Edinburgh Instruments has introduced a new upgrade for its photoluminescence spectrometers, designed and manufactured at their global headquarters in Scotland.

The MicroPL upgrade enables the study of spectral or time-resolved photoluminescence of samples in the microscopic scale by converting an Edinburgh Instruments photoluminescence (PL) spectrometer into a combined spectrometer and microscope system. A wide range of microscope configurations, source coupling and detector options are available enabling both steady state and fluorescence lifetime microscopy, as well as automated maps.

Key Features: • Spectral and Time Resolved: Suitable for any type of photoluminescence experiment • Customisable: Tailored to any application and upgradable in the future • FLIM Add-On: Accessible and user-friendly fluorescence lifetime mapping • Plug & Play: Easy to swap between MicroPL and FLS1000 Photoluminescence Spectrometer or FS5 Spectrofluorometer standard sample holders • All-In-One Software: Including data acquisition, analysis and presentation

Roger Fenske, CEO, says "We are delighted to expand the functionality of our photoluminescence spectrometers. Not only is our new PL microscope option fully configurable, it can also be upgraded with additional capability in the future. This ensures that our products keep evolving as new research trends emerge."

Online resource for lamp and luminaire afficianados!

Cortet™ by CEL announces a new online resource for manufacturers, integrators, installers and reseller of lighting systems, luminaires, lamps and control/management systems for industrial and office facilities, warehouses, and other large facilities.

“Businesses and manufacturers looking to expand their product lines within the Smart Building Technology space face a fractured and disorganized cornucopia of suppliers – with many products that do not talk to each other,” says Erik Davidson, Cortet’s Director of Marketing and Product Management. “The newly launched resource provides an easy way to find a complete selection of Smart Building solutions and products from various manufacturers that can be managed and controlled by a single technology and are all certified to work together, taking the guesswork and experimentation out of the product/technology selection challenge.”

In addition to blogs, resource libraries, FAQs, support center, etc., the new site features special “Powered by Cortet” and “Cortet Certified Partner” sections. 

The “Powered By Cortet” partnership program enables lamp and luminaire OEMs to provide and market a full range of local and IoT-connected control systems, integrated solutions and lighting accessories to their clients and customers. The “Powered by Cortet” program will also enable them to expand their next generation product offerings into additional automated and smart systems such facility security, air conditioning and heating, building communications, and other emerging industrial IoT solutions.

Cortet by CEL has partnered with a range of various equipment OEMs and suppliers to create a one stop shop that provides lamp and luminaire manufacturers with a complete selection of products and technologies, all tested and certified to work together.

To become a Cortet Certified device, a device must undergo a rigorous testing and certification program in the Cortet Test & Integration lab. Cortet engineers work closely with Cortet Certified Partners to ensure that the hardware and software for every device is reliable in a large scale wireless system. Once a device is certified, customers of Cortet solutions can buy it for use in commercial deployments. This includes products such as Leviton light switches and sensors, ILLUMRA self-powered lighting control devices and Magnitude Lighting LED drivers. Details here.

According to Mr. Davidson, “We are rapidly expanding our network of partners and are looking for others to join us in this tech umbrella. Feel free to contact us if you are interesting in knowing more about our partnership program.”

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) offers industrial lighting companies an exciting and highly effective way to manage an entire building’s various systems. More information about Cortet Lighting Control solutions can be found here. All Cortet Partnership and Certified products will interoperate with this new building control management technology.

Companies developing wireless products can find IoT Hardware products here.

Finally, engineers, developers and managers interested in the latest trends and technical developments regarding IoT, lighting control, and smart building technology can learn a lot from their new blog.

Photoluminscence spectrometer.

The FLS1000 from Edinburgh Instruments, is a state-of-the-art, modular photoluminescence spectrometer for the most demanding applications in Photophysics, Photochemistry, Material Sciences and Life Sciences.

The instrument sets the standards in both steady state and time-resolved spectroscopy: the system demonstrates unmatched sensitivity and can be configured for spectral measurements from the Ultraviolet to the Mid-Infrared spectral range, and for lifetime measurements spanning time resolutions over 12 orders of magnitude from picoseconds to seconds.

High sensitivity is a prerequisite for measurements of low sample concentrations, small sample volumes or low luminescence quantum yields. The instrument’s ultimate sensitivity of >30,000:1 for the standard water Raman measurement is unmatched in the industry.

The FLS1000 comes with new proprietary electronics modules and a new all-in-one software suite, Fluoracle®. New, redesigned monochromators provide high stray light rejection, supreme accuracy and resolution, and increased automation not seen on any other instrument on the market. The combination of new and modern components, together with decades of experience in configuring complex modular designs, ensures maximum research performance, paired with ease of operation.
