Introducing the Mini-tau Lifetime Spectrometer
A Compact, Accurate, and Professional Solution for Fluorescence Lifetime Measurement with TCSPC Technology
With the rapid advancement of science in biophysics, chemistry, life sciences, and nanotechnology, the need for more sophisticated and precise tools to analyze optical and molecular processes is greater than ever. One of the most fundamental methods for studying molecular behavior is Fluorescence Lifetime analysis, and in this field, the Mini-tau Lifetime Spectrometer is considered one of the most accurate yet compact solutions available on the market.
Mini-tau: Small, Yet Powerful
The Mini-tau is a product from the reputable company, Edinburgh Instruments—a specialized spectrometer for measuring fluorescence lifetime using the TCSPC (Time-Correlated Single Photon Counting) method. This technology allows researchers to extract valuable information about molecular interactions, transition energies, energy transfer processes, and the molecular environment of the sample under study by precisely analyzing the photon decay rate.
Despite the Mini-tau's small size and benchtop design, its performance is completely competitive with larger, more expensive models, and in many research and industrial applications, it performs even better.
