| | Single Molecules in the (Laser) Focus
Versatile measurements in solution: concentrations, interactions, fluctuations, diffusions – that's the ConfoCor 2.
You want to know how single molecules or defined molecule ensembles behave in your reaction tube? You want to learn about their dynamic behavior and their preferred interaction partners? The ConfoCor 2 will be an ideal choice. It measures precisely with highest sensitivity and quickly within seconds. Based on the confocal detection principle, the diffusion speed of a fluorescent labeled molecule is easily accessed in a single measurement by the correlation function. |  |  Technical Data

Motorized and computer controlled hardware enable high sample throughput. | | A solid basis.
The fully integrated FCS detection head is mounted on the Axiovert 200 M, the new standard for inverted microscopes. The choice of attachment at the side- or baseport gives sufficient flexibility for your required setup. Rely on extreme stability and enjoy the unique ergonomic features.
No compromise in sensitivity.
The C-Apochromat 40x / W 1.2 high numerical aperture objective guarantees a maximum collection efficiency of photons emitted by an excited molecule. These photons are detected with highest sensitivity by avalanche photodiodes (APDs).
Marriage of Optics and Mathematics.
The confocal volume is produced by focusing the laser beam on the physically smallest possible spot using high precision optics. Recorded fluctuations in fluorescence are then analyzed by a sophisticated mathematical equation, the correlation function.
Automation to enhance user comfort.
The ConfoCor 2 uses a motorized and computer controlled microscope stand and detection head, enabling the automation of measurement protocols. High reproducibility in your measurements, high sample throughput and delegation of routine measurements go without saying.
Flexibility through data export.
The ConfoCor 2 gathers photons for you. And you can do whatever you want with them. The ConfoCor 2 memorizes the raw data, and you can evaluate them in your own ways. | | |
