Used BIO-RAD FTS 40 #31296 for sale

BIO-RAD FTS 40 is a high-resolution Fourier Transform spectrum analyzer (FTS) that enables rapid and accurate polarimetric measurements. It is a research-grade laboratory instrument designed for precise and reliable measurement of optical phenotypes. BIO-RAD FTS-40 supports a wide range of applications, from measuring the absorption or reflection properties of specific materials to measuring the spectral energy distribution of a light source. FTS 40 operates by splitting the incident light at two perpendicular polarizers and then detecting the spectral components of the light that is reflected or transmitted through them. This enables the user to obtain information about the polarization state of the material they are measuring. FTS-40 also features an optional octahedron/fast sample module (FSM), which allows the user to quickly rotate sample materials without having to worry about manual alignment. BIO-RAD FTS 40 also contains computer-controlled automation support, allowing the user to control the sampling and record data manipulation processes. BIO-RAD FTS-40 is outfitted with a highly-sensitive digital detector, which is capable of detecting light in a wide range of wavelengths, with a minimum resolution of 0.1nm. The detector is matched with a high-resolution spectrometer, which can provide a wavelength range from 190nm to 1100nm, a pixel resolution up to 2048 and a dynamic range up to 160dB. FTS 40 also provides hardware-based internal and external triggering, providing the user with flexibility in controlling the sample scanning and data acquisition. The instrument software enables user-friendly operation, with a full-featured graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI provides access to the instrument's display and controls, as well as displaying the processed spectral data. The data processing workflow is available in a variety of formats, including ASCII, Microsoft Excel and special purpose formats with unique graphical displays. The software is also capable of real-time data analysis and visualization, as well as providing statistical analysis on the measured data. Finally, FTS-40 is highly-rugged and durable, designed to operate in harsh laboratory and field environments. The instrument also provides automatic calibration, ensuring that the measurements remain accurate even after long periods of inactivity. Thanks to its wide range of features and reliable performance, BIO-RAD FTS 40 is an ideal choice for a wide range of research and laboratory applications.
