Circular dichroism spectrometer CHIRASCAN VX

for researchxenonbenchtop

Suitable for studying chiral molecules of all types and sizes, this Chirascan CD spectrometer has featured in thousands of publications since its introduction in 2005. Often used to analyze biomolecules, Chirascan data contributes to a deeper understanding of biomolecular characteristics, mechanisms and interactions. Gain insight and detect changes in secondary and tertiary structure Determine response to thermal or chemical change Study folding and unfolding mechanisms Expand capabilities with dedicated FEATURES AND ACCESSORIES Chirascan systems are supplied with the features and accessories required for acquisition of high quality data from ‘day one’. MOLECULAR SIEVE, ACTIVATED CHARCOAL FILTER Removes common gas impurities ACTIVE NITROGEN MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Regulates purge gas consumption Software-controlled AIR-COOLED XENON LAMP Software-controlled Up-time recorded MONOCHROMATOR Produces horizontally, linearly polarized ­monochromatic light Dual polarizing prisms maximize light ­throughput PHOTOELASTIC MODULATOR Converts horizontally polarized light to ­circularly polarized light. ­Alternates between left- and right-handed circular polarized light TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED SAMPLE CHAMBER Consistent analytical conditions Continuous temperature ramps (single sample mode) WATER CIRCULATOR Dissipates heat from sample chamber and sample storage Peltiers CUVETTES AND HOLDERS Selected for far- and near-UV CD analysis of biomolecules (single sample mode) PHOTOMULTIPLIER DETECTOR Easily defined run parameters and store routine protocols Saves time with scheduled start-up/shutdown of lamp and N2 supply Fail-safe lamp switch-off if N2 flow drops
