Thermo Vanquish HPLC
The Thermo Vanquish HPLC has a binary pump, autosampler with cooling, column oven, and a diode array detector; it is controlled by Chromeleon™ software. It is set up for reversed-phase chromatographic separations; users are expected to provide their own columns and eluents. (Note that Waters-branded columns will require adapters to mate with the Viper fittings in the column oven.)

Edinburgh Instrument FS5 Spectrofluorometer
In fluorescence or photoluminescence spectroscopy, the sample is excited with light of a certain wavelength and the emission spectrum, typically at longer wavelengths, is recorded and displayed as the number of emitted photon versus the emission wavelength. The fluorescence spectrometer is the device to measure the fluorescnce or photoluminescence spectra. It consists of a xenon lamp that provides a broad spectrum for a choice for excitation wavelengths, an excitation monochromator that selects a specific wavelength out of the broad xenon lamp spectrum, a sample compartment, and an emission monochromator that selects a specific emission wavelegnth and provides scanning through a spectral range, and a sensititive detector that is capable to detect single photons. Attached is the full user manual.
