Fluorimeters are widely utilized for the quantitation of biological compounds in solution, with applications ranging from environmental/agricultural water monitoring to DNA sequencing. These devices measure fluorescence by exciting a sample with an integrated light source and collecting the emitted light using either filtered detectors or embedded spectrometers. Historically laboratory fluorimeters utilized spectrometers due to their…
