Articles Review
Hand-held thermal-regulating fluorometer [1]
- Portable, low cost fluorometer using blue LED as excitation source and integrating photo detector as detection element
- Sample can be thermal regulated using infrared heater and infrared thermometer
- Software only regulate temperature and changing integration settings, data is not processed
- Tested using FAM fluorescent dye
- No comments about performance or accuracy of the fluorometer
Versatile portable fluorometer for time-resolved luminescence analysis [2]
- A portable, but not low cost, fluorometer for time resolved luminescence analysis
- Uses xenon flash lamp with filter as excitation source, and photo multiplier tube with filter as the detection device
- This device claimed to have better SNR by about 1 order of magnitude than state of the art commercial spectrometer at the time of the writing
- Intended to detect drugs such as tetracycline
- Could be used to test different compounds due to the multi wavelength light source
The SLIM Spectrometer [3]
- A portable, low cost colorimeter using LEDs and photo detector
- Uses multiple LED because the chemical under test can absorb broader wavelength
- Suffer from non-linearity because of the combination between absorbance profile and LED spectrum
- Lost to commercial spectrometer in the aspect of wavelength resolution and noise
- Claimed could easily be changed to fluorometer just by making the detection angle 90 degree to the light source
