Optical spectrometer J-1000 Series

circular dichroismfor scientific applicationslaboratory

JASCO has produced the highest quality circular dichroism instrumentation for over 50 years. The J-1000 series is the result of many advances in technology combined with a great deal of customer input. These three new models are adaptable to meet any requirements and can be expanded as applications or budgets evolve. The innovative optical system of the J-1700 allows the measurement of a CD spectrum in the near-IR region up to 2,500 nm using an unique Triple Detection system. JASCO J-1700 is ideal for Structural analysis of metal complexes and colored proteins, Magnetic CD spectra measurements of transition metals and CD measurements of the first and second overtones of vibrational transitions JASCO J-1500 allows the measurement of a CD spectrum in the vacuum UV region down to 163 nm. The vacuum UV region below 200 nm, is of critical importance for biomolecules, particularly in protein secondary structure estimation. High sensitivity combined with a maximum of 10,000 nm per minute scan speed allows the J-1700/J-1500 to measure samples quickly increasing productivity in your lab. An additional benefit is the minimal time exposure of biological samples to the high-energy UV light minimizing the risk of sample degradation.
