Hi Sebastiano, We have a Chirascan instrument with all the attachments (fluorescence, stopped flow, multi-cell attachment, etc). It is by far the best CD instrument that I have used. I have experience in the past with Aviv, Jasco, and Olis instruments.

What we would like to have is the possibility of measuring Circular Dichroism spectra, and perform kinetic analysis in fluorescence, possibly also with a stopped-flow set up, for pre-steady state kinetics. Would you reckon a single instrument would be capable of fulfilling these tasks, or would you rather advice the investment on two instruments? Could you guys please give me suggestions on piece of instruments that you're happy (or unhappy) with? I've been currently considering the Chirascan from Applied Photophysics, or the Jasco J-815, so far. Any comment on those?
