Details
FLAME-CHEM spectrometers are fully integrated UV-Vis and Vis-NIR systems for measuring absorbance and transmission of liquid samples in cuvettes. FLAME-CHEM is a great option for teaching labs and research facilities where users seek the performance and flexibility advantages of the Flame spectrometer in a compact, small footprint instrument.
Each FLAME-CHEM system comprises a preconfigured Flame spectrometer, a direct-attach light source and a cuvette holder for 1 cm pathlength cuvettes. Add OceanView spectroscopy software (purchased separately) to complete your system.
Overview
- Fully integrated systems – each setup comprises a Flame spectrometer, light source and cuvette holder
- UV-Vis and Vis-NIR models – wavelength range options of 200-850 nm (FLAME-CHEM-UV-VIS) and 350-1000 nm (FLAME-CHEM-VIS-NIR)
- Compact setups – small footprint instruments save bench space, simplify operation
- Flexible components -- switch out spectrometer slits or remove the cuvette holder to use the system with discrete accessories
| Key Feature | Best For | Example Applications |
| User Interchangeable Slits | Users who wish to vary resolution and throughput during measurements, or switch from absorbance to fluorescence in minutes | Life science and other labs using a variety of biological samples |
| Indicator LEDs | Convenient visual reference for spectrometer operation and status | Teaching and general lab use |
| Thermal Stability | Applications that require repeatable results in industrial and other environments with varying temperatures and conditions | LED binning and light metrology, process monitoring |
| Reduced Unit to Unit Variation | OEM applications such as uncalibrated sensitivity and other measurement needs where users benefit from low variance | OEM manufacturers of analytical instrumentation |
| Configurability | Optimizing your spectrometer for application-specific requirements; adjusting range, throughput and resolution and adding features such as filters as required | Laser characterization, low signal fluorescence and optimizing for specific absorbance bands |
| Plug & Play Operation | Users that want the convenience of simple, fast operation via the microUSB connection; enables users to take the measurement to the sample | Remote sensing measurements in the field, including air and water quality monitoring and solar irradiance |
| Ease of Integration | OEMs and developers who need to integrate a spectrometer as part of a system via microUSB or RS-232 | Engineering labs, developers, OEM manufacturers; works with LabVIEW and other design platforms |
