Lastek: Photonics Technology Solutions

The Ventana spectrometers from Ocean Optics are high-performance spectrometers providing exceptional throughput and sensitivity in a small footprint. Designed to minimize light loss and maximize throughput, Ventana spectrometers provide exceptionally high sensitivity. This high sensitivity enables low excitation power for Raman and fluorescence measurements and short integration times for fast measurements. With its smart, modular design and compact footprint, Ventana spectrometers are a cost-effective alternative to integrated benchtop systems with no compromise in performance.

The HR2000+ Spectrometer integrates a high-resolution optical bench, a powerful 2-MHz analog-to-digital (A/D) converter, programmable electronics, a 2048-element CCD-array detector, and a high-speed USB 2.0 port. This innovative combination produces and extremely fast spectrometer and provides resolution to 0.035 nm (FWHM). The HR2000+ allows users to capture and store a full spectrum into memory every millisecond (that's 1,000 full spectra every second) when the spectrometer is interfaced to a computer via a USB 2.0 port. The HR2000+ is perfect for chemical, biochemical and other applications where fast reactions need to be monitored and fine spectral features need to be resolved.
