[nanoPost] State-of-the art optical instruments to detect, identify, and quantify single-walled

The near-infrared emission spectra of nanotube samples serve as compositional "fingerprints."  One can therefore use spectrofluorimetry to deduce detailed information about the compositions of bulk samples, which invariably contain mixtures of (n,m) species.  However, general-purpose spectrofluorometers are not well suited to this task. 

Although such instruments are versatile, they are also large, slow, and produce raw data that require substantial interpretation to yield the desired analytical result.  To provide a more efficient and automated alternative, the company has developed a specialized fluorimetric instrument designed specifically for SWNT analysis. 

Our unique fluorimetric analyzer combines a compact, efficient optical system and sophisticated software that acquires and interprets the data.  It allows users to easily and rapidly find the identities and amounts of specific (n,m) semiconducting nanotubes in their bulk samples.
