PHOTON DETECTION NEW UNIT C9692 SERIES C9692-01 C9692-02 C9692-03 Excitation light source unit Sample holder unit Optical fiber panel OVERVIEW The C9692 series Photon Detection Units are photon counting units designed to make low-light measurements at single photon levels without a time-consuming measurement setup. All users need to do is prepare the sample the users want to measure and a personal computer (PC). Three models (C9692-01/-02/-03) are available so the users can select one that best meets your application. When combined with optional modular units (A9859, A9860, A9861), the C9692 is ideal for various types of measurement. The USB interface allows simple plug & play setup when connecting the C9692 to a PC. Sample holder unit FEATURES ●Photon counting with high S/N ratio Low noise: 50 s-1 (Typ.at 25 °C) ●Computer control Built-in USB Ver. 1.1 interface ●CE marking compliance ●Optical fiber (FC type) compatible (C9692-01) ●Interlock function (C9692-02/03) Automatically closes optical shutter to prevent excessive light from entering PMT if sample compartment is accidentally opened during measurement. ●Built-in UV LED excitation light source (C9692-03) APPLICATIONS ●Bioluminescence, chemiluminescence ●Food oxidation, antioxidant activity luminescence ●Activated cell luminescence ●UV-excited (UV LED) delayed fluorescence (C9692-03) ●Other low-light-level measurements Light source wavelength: 375 nm Output power: 10 mW/cm2 Irradiation time: 0.1 to 3600 seconds SPECIFICATIONS C9692 SERIES COMMON SPECIFICATIONS Parameter Detection Method Spectral Response Range Photocathode Size Maximum Count Rate Counter Gate Time Dark Count (Typ. at 25 °C) Counter Capacity Trigger Signal Input Mode Trigger Signal Level Trigger Section Trigger Signal Pulse Width Input Voltage (DC) Input Voltage (AC) to Supplied AC Adapter Temperature Operating Humidity Temperature Storage Humidity CPU PC and CLK Recommended Memory System OS Requirements Interface Description / Value Photon counting method 185 to 650 16 × 18 3 × 106 0.001 to 10 (1, 2, 5 Steps) 50 32 bits/gate External trigger, software trigger TTL negative logic 100 ns or more +7 (supplied from AC adapter) 100 V to 240 V (auto switchable), single phase 50 Hz/60 Hz +5 to +40 Below 80 (no condensation) 0 to +50 Below 85 (no condensation) Intel® Pentium® 3 or higher 1 GHz or higher 512 MB or more Windows® 98, 98SE, Me, 2000, XP-Pro USB Ver1.1 Unit — nm mm s-1 s s-1 — — — — V — °C % °C % — — — — — Description / Value FC type (HRFC-R1/Hirose) 26.5 (from fiber end) Approx. 0.7 Unit — mm kg Description / Value 50 × 50 × 15 45.5 (from bottom of sample compartment) Approx. 1.1 Unit mm mm kg Description / Value 375 nm·10 mW/cm2 0.1 to 3600 10 dia.
