About this machine

This Horiba Fluorolog FL3 is a laboratory spectrofluorometer — sometimes referred to as a fluorescence spectrometer — used to measure the fluorescence properties of liquid and solid samples across scientific research, materials science, and life sciences applications. Horiba is a well-established Japanese instrumentation manufacturer with a broad portfolio of analytical and measurement equipment serving academic, pharmaceutical, environmental, and industrial research sectors.

This particular unit is the FL3-22 configuration, dating from 2012, and is described by the seller as barely used. It was last serviced in 2022 and is currently held in storage in Germany.

The system is supplied with Fluoressence software for instrument control and data acquisition, along with a comprehensive set of modular accessories. A Peltier cooling chamber (FL1048-FUP) is included, enabling temperature-controlled measurements without the need for a separate chiller. The front face option (FL1001) allows fluorescence measurements of opaque, concentrated, or solid samples directly at the sample surface, complemented by a fixed probe holder with fine adjustment (ZKSL) designed specifically for front-face measurement geometry.

Polarisation-resolved measurements are supported via an automatic polarisation unit (FL1044), which is used in applications such as fluorescence anisotropy and depolarisation studies. Sample throughput is facilitated by an automatic quadruple cuvette holder (FL1011) combined with a dedicated control unit for the automatic cell changer (FL1014), allowing sequential measurement of up to four samples without manual intervention.

Temperature regulation during measurements is provided by a temperature control unit (AC200-A25). A transmission and absorption unit is also included, extending the instrument's capability beyond fluorescence to absorbance measurements within the same platform. The system further includes a DM303 amplifier and a COM-FL computer control system, completing a fully integrated, computer-controlled fluorescence measurement setup.
