MNL X00 – UV Laser
The MNL X00 is our newest development and a perfect-matching light source for bio-reader systems and MALDI-TOF imaging. Compact, reliable and cost-efficient, it can provide pulse energies up to 110 µJ and repetition rates up to 150 Hz (200 Hz on request).
- Wavelength 337,1 nm
- Long operating life
- Fully compatible with MNL 100
- Application in Bioreaders
- Alternative to flash lamps
Setup
The Mini Nitrogen Laser MNL X00 is characterized by its long lifetime, low energy decay and high precision. This is achieved by the patented innovations:
- Sealed cartridge in metal-ceramics technology
Up to 400 million laser pulses or the maintenance-free operation up to 4 years are guaranteed. The integrated laser controller makes a large number of presettings possible as well as the easy adaptation t o different applications. The firmware provides the possibility to adjust and control all laser functions and parameters via the interface to the PC. All trigger in- and outputs are monitored by the trigger management. The air-cooled laser is supplied with a low voltage of 24 V DC. A wide-range power supply is part of the delivery (100 – 240 V, 50 – 60 Hz).
The MNL X00 is largely compatible to the lasers of this class on the market and has got the certifications necessary for all international markets. CE, ETL Report No. 05KFI005386 (UL, CSA, VDE, Semco), ROHS, FDA.
