Chirascan and Chirascan Plus

Applied Photophysics Ltd. Chirascan and Chirascan Plus instruments, conceived in collaboration with Dr. Alex F. Drake, are multimode spectrometers capable of measuring absorption, fluorescence and light scattering properties for ordinary, linearly and circularly polarised light over the 170-1200 nm region. Suitable for studying chiral molecules of all types and sizes to gain insight and detect changes in secondary and tertiary structure, determine responses to thermal or chemical change and study folding and unfolding mechanisms.
