Jasco CD J-1500
Molecular Spectrometer
The Jasco J-1500 Spectropolarimeter is an advanced optical instrument designed for precise measurement of circular dichroism (CD) and related chiroptical properties of molecules. It is widely used in biochemical and biophysical research to study protein secondary structure, nucleic acid conformation, and chiral compounds. The J-1500 offers high sensitivity, wide wavelength coverage, and rapid data acquisition, making it ideal for both routine measurements and detailed kinetic studies. Its modular design supports multiple accessories for temperature control, fluorescence detection, and stopped-flow experiments, allowing comprehensive analysis of molecular structure and interactions under various experimental conditions. Wavelength range from 163–1100 nm for far-UV to near-IR CD measurements High sensitivity and low noise for accurate detection of weak CD signals Rapid scanning capabilities for real-time and kinetic studies Modular system supporting temperature control, titration, and stopped-flow accessories User-friendly Spectra Manager software for data collection and analysis Dual-beam optical configuration for superior baseline stability and reproducibility
