FL 6500 Fluorescence Spectrophotometer

The FL 6500 Fluorescence Spectrometer is the optimal system for analyzing samples susceptible to photo-bleaching. Photo-bleaching may be experienced with certain thin coatings and compounds in bioresearch, cell-biology, molecular biology, immunology, enzymology, tissue and protein samples; FL 6500 is also excellent for phosphorescence analysis. Our new instrument features intuitive software and 26 diverse plug-n-play accessories that outshine your expectations.
