F-3025 Stopped-flow accessory

The stopped-flow rapid-
kinetics accessories F-3025
and F-3025M offer versatility
for spectroscopic monitoring
of fast reactions in solution.
In addition to the conventional
two-syringe mixing system,
there is also a three-syringe
version with two sequential
mixers in the cell, giving you
an option to do double-mixing.
Further choices include a mi-
cro-volume version, reducing
the volumes of reagents re-
quired to load the instrument,
and thus improve sample
economy.
The stopped-flow accessory permits observation of the reaction rate of two reactants
forced through a mixing chamber, and into an observation cell. The reactant solutions
are contained in drive syringes whose pistons simultaneously are driven. After leaving
the observation cell, the reactants advance a stop syringe, triggering data-acquisition by
the spectrofluorometer.
This accessory has been designed to suit the particular needs of FluoroMax
spectrofluorometers. The optical cell matches the beam geometry of this instrument. A
cable is supplied so data-acquisition can be externally triggered at stopping, providing a
reproducible time-zero registration for all traces, and allowing accurate overlay and av-
eraging.
Model F-3025 includes 600 mm of tubing, while F-3025M has 300 mm of tubing.
Caution:
Always read the Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS) to understand the hazards of handling your
sample.
