Fluoracle Software

Fluoracle controls all FS5, Mini-tau and FLS1000 series of steady state and time-resolved spectrometers and features a straightforward design concept:

“to focus on all modern photoluminescence spectroscopy applications whilst providing a user-friendly interface with ‘ready to publish’ outputs”

Product Description

Fluoracle® is an exceptional software package specifically written to handle data and instrumentation in fluorescence spectroscopy.

Fluoracle is the successor of the proven F980 software from our FLS980 product line and it is this that provides the backbone to Fluoracle.

Whether you select a basic spectral scanning version of one of our spectrometer systems, or you go for an advanced version that includes TCSPC lifetime measurements, or integrating sphere measurements, the software will provide all instrument options automatically, from data acquisition to analysis and presentation.

Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM) acquisition and analysis are included in Fluoracle with a MicroPL upgrade.
