FAST is Edinburgh Instruments’ proprietary software for lifetime decay analysis stretching beyond the standard TCSPC applications.
Advanced applications: Anisotropy, Förster kinetics, micellar quenching, and more
Up to 200 lifetimes: simultaneously fitted with global analysis
Bespoke package: Exclusive algorithms owned and developed by Edinburgh Instruments
Robust and reliable: with guaranteed fit results
FAST (Fluorescence Analysis Software Technology) offers advanced analysis of photoluminescence decay kinetics with outstanding robustness, speed, and fits that are 100% convergent.
FAST contains a library of advanced data reconvolution and curve fitting routines based on proprietary data processing algorithms, which in both speed and reliability surpass the conventional Marquardt-Levenberg algorithm.
Despite the sophisticated and challenging analysis models, FAST is easy to operate, with an intuitive and user-friendly interface. A wide range of data input, on-screen visualisation, and export facilities are available.
Experimental data can be analysed one at a time or in batch mode. The latter is particularly useful for larger data sets such as in assay development and screening.
