AvaLight-LED, Light sources for Fluorescence Applications

The AvaLight-LED light sources are compact, low-cost Light Emitting Diodes that produce continuous or pulsed spectral output at different wavelengths for high sensitivity fluorescence measurements. The Avalight-LED470-p14 is especially designed to be used with the Fibre Optic Oxygen Sensor, an AvaSpec-2048 and AvaSoft-Oxy (see applications section).

All AvaLight-LED light sources are recommended for fluorescence applications, where the excitation wavelength can be chosen from the following table.

A new addition is the CUV-LED. The LED is built into an adapter that fits into a standard cuvette holder and connects through the lamp electronics (AvaLight-LED-CON) through an electrical cable. This setup is ideal for fluorescence applications.

Other fluorescence accessories and probes, such as the CUV-DA, CUV-FL/CUV-ALL cuvette holders and the FCR-UV200/600 fluorescence probe can be found in either the fibre optics, accessories ot fibre optics sections of this website. A typical application setup for fluorescence is illustrated in the applications section of the website.

The AvaLight-LED has an SMA905 connector for coupling to fibre optics. A PS-12V/1.0A power supply is required for operation.

The AvaLight-LED can be used as a DC source or pulsed with a programmable Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), supplied by the AvaSpec-USB2 spectrometer's output (IC-DB26-2 interface cable required).
