Module for instruments that require fluorescence detection

With a diameter of 32mm (1.25”) and measuring 128mm (5”) in length, the Mikron 71 is the smallest commercially available fluorimeter. Despite its small footprint, it offers exceptional performance, making it well-suited for integration into a wide variety of analytical and bioanalytical instruments.

The detector is available with multiple interchangeable, fixed-wavelength filters, light sources, and flow cells, enabling both excitation and emission fluorescence measurements. This flexibility allows the Mikron 71 to be configured for almost any fluidic application, including chromatography, flow cytometry, and microfluidic analysis. It is particularly ideal for instruments lacking built-in fluorescence detection, such as preparative liquid chromatography systems, where precise and sensitive fluorescence measurement is required.

One of the key advantages of the Mikron 71 is its long-life, low-power LED light source. This feature enables the detector to be used directly in a chilled environment at 4°C (39°F), making it highly suitable for bioanalytical applications where temperature-sensitive samples must be preserved. The ability to detect proteins at nanomolar concentrations makes it a valuable tool for life sciences, biochemistry, and pharmaceutical research.

To ensure accuracy and sensitivity, the Mikron 71 includes a reference channel, eliminating the need for external calibration and enhancing measurement reliability. The device is designed for ease of integration, communicating via a single USB-C port that also supplies power. Drivers are provided for several popular chromatography software packages, and an open protocol is available for customised implementations.

Manufactured to meet international standards, the Mikron 71 is CE-marked, ensuring compliance with safety and performance regulations. This innovative detector provides a compact, high-performance solution for laboratories and instrument manufacturers seeking reliable fluorescence detection in a modular format.
