FIAlab Instruments
 Leaders in Flow Injection Technology

The SMA-FL Fluorescence Flow Cell utilizes a fiber optic cable to send excitation energy through a fused silica window into a 2-mm inner-diameter sample compartment. Emitted energy is collected by a second fiber, oriented at 90°, that connects to a spectrometer/detector configured for fluorescence.  The flow cell flow path is 1-mm inner diameter and is available in chemically inert PEEK. The cell is compatible with standard SMA 905 terminated fiber optics.  The windows are removable for cleaning or replacement to another material with different optical bandpass properties.  The cell is designed to accommodate common Florescence measurements while minimizing bubble entrapment.

Each Cell includes 1 mm thick UV grade Fused Silica windows, a hard, non-corrosive, chemically resistant material that also has a high UV through IR transmission (260 nm through 2000 nm).  The windows are held in place by chemically resistant seals, pressure mounted with steel SMA connectors (connectors do not contact the fluids).

Optional Components:

Built in band pass excitation and/or emmision filter(s).

We offer numerous bandpass filters for fluorometric assays, from the UV through the visible.  Please inquire for technical and pricing specifics.

Coupled LED based excitation source.   LEDs from 270 nm to 920 nm are available.   These can be directly coupled to the flowcell.  Please inquire for technical and pricing specifics.
 

Each order includes one Flow-Cell, two optical windows, two steel SMA connectors, four chemically resistant Upchurch tubing connectors, two meters of Teflon tubing, six chemically resistant seals.  Two SMA terminated fiber optic cables are required (purchase separately).
