Spectroscopy Configurations for Life Science Applications

Avantes instruments and accessories have been used successfully in a multitude of life science applications. Spectrometers and photonics sensors have been used for years in applications such as blood gas analysis and oximetry but they are now being deployed into a variety of new applications thanks to the developments in the fields of biophotonics and proteomics. Fiber-based spectrometers offer a variety of advantages over traditional instruments including:

• Size/portability – enabling integration into handheld devices
• Value – these instruments often have a superior price/ performance ratio
• Micro-sampling – by using fiber optics
• Speed – Micro spectrometers can support sampling at KHz rates and higher
• Non-invasive/non-contact sampling

This brochure provides information on common configurations used in life science applications. Avantes offers many possible configurations for life sciences, this brochure only lists a few common configurations so we advise you to speak with one of our knowledgeable sales team members to learn more about the right configuration for your application. Avantes is not a manufacturer of integrated turnkey solutions, but rather a component supplier for life science.
