Energetiq Technology, Inc., a developer and manufacturer of specialized light
sources for advanced technology applications, will introduce its Laser-Driven
Light Source (LDLS) product family to the largest gathering of biophysicists
in the world at the Biophysical Society 54th Annual Meeting in San Francisco,
February 21-23, 2010.
The LDLS light sources are well suited to challenging applications such as
advanced circular dichroism spectroscopy, stopped-flow spectroscopy, and
fluorescence spectroscopy.
With Energetiq's LDLS technology, a single light source embodied in the
EQ-1000, EQ-1500, EQ-1510, or EQ-99 can provide extreme high brightness over a
broad spectral range, from 170nm through visible and beyond. This ability to
cover the complete spectrum makes it an economical and efficient alternative to
using traditional lamps. Xenon-arc, Deuterium, and Tungsten/Halogen lamps each
cover only a portion of the spectrum covered by the LDLS light sources, and
their use of electrodes limits their ability to achieve the high brightness,
stable output and long life that is necessary for the study of biological and
molecular structures.
The proprietary laser-driven bulb technology utilized in the LDLS product
family allows for bulb brightness and lifetimes that are an order of magnitude
higher and longer than these traditional lamps. Excellent spatial and power
stability of the LDLS EQ Series enables highly repeatable measurements over long
periods of operation, and compact packaging allows for easy integration.
