System evaluation of Jasco spectrofluorometer FP-8500 with optical fiber

By using OBF-832 optical fiber unit, it becomes easy to use an optical fiber as a fluorescence detection unit of the analyzer. With the use of the optical fiber, the measurement can be performed by just approaching a probe to a sample. It is possible to measure a sample which is larger than sample chamber, to trace in vivo reaction, to measure under the severe environment where people can not approach such as high/low temperature and high pressure.

In this application note, part of fluorescent samples were measured by using FP-8500 spectrofluorometer and OBF-832 optical fiber unit.
