Measurement of fluorescent materials

	Measurement of fluorescence quantum yield of solid sample The Hitachi F-7000 Fluorescence Spectrophotometer with accessories allows for calculation of the fluorescence quantum yield of a solid sample from measurements. The high-level basic functions of the F-7000, such as high sensitivity at S/N 800 or more and a dynamic range up to the sixth or higher orders, brings more power.

	Hitachi F-7000 Fluorescence Spectrophotometer Integrating sphere Spectrum correction kit * Integrating sphere is optional. * For correction over 600nm, the R928F Photomultiplier and a substandard light source are required.
	<Measurement of fluorescence quantum yield of solid samples> The quantum yield of tris 8-quinolinolato aluminum complex (Alq3) powder, an organic electroluminescence material, can be obtained from the spectrum (right figure) of a standard reflective material (aluminum oxide auxiliary white sheet). * Quantum yield cannot be calculated on the same software.

	Organic EL materia In this example, the F-7000 was used to analyze the luminescent characteristic of trisaluminum complex powder used as a luminescent material for organic EL display. A solid sample holder, its powder cell, the photomultiplier R928F, and the filter set were use.
	Scan speed: 12,000nm/min Excitation slit: 5.0nm Emission slit: 5.0nm Photomultiplier voltage: 400V Response: Automatic Spectrum correction: Activated Beam-cut filter (UV-39) used Photomultiplier R928F used
	The acquisition of these data was made possible by the three-dimensional measurement function and high-speed scanning capability of the F-7000.

Biological Field

Measurement of intermolecular actions

FRET (Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer) and BRET (Bioluminescence Resonance Energy Transfer) The Model F-7000 can measure the intermolecular activities such as FRET and BRET.

Measurement of calcium in cell

	Ca2+ concentration in cells With the optional interacellular calcium measurement accessory, the F-7000 can measure fluorescence intensity values at two wavelengths in EGF-injected COS-7 cells (extracted from a monkey's kidney), and calculate the concentrations of Ca2+. The sample was a cultivated cell fluorescence-labeled by Fura2-AM. The change in Ca2+concentrations in the live cell was also measured. During this analysis, the EGF receptor appeared in the COS-7 as the Ca2+ level increased due to EGF injection. The Model F-7000 can measure biological samples with higher sensitivity and speed.

Environmental Field

Three-dimensional measurement

Pollutant Environmental pollutants can be identified by comparison of three-dimensional fluorescence spectra. The conventional three-dimensional measurement function has been made more sophisticated by F-7000, enabling high-speed and high-accuracy measurement.
