A Brief Description
The PRT 400 is an accessory for the TimeHarp 200 TCSPC-board. It permits to operate up to 4 SPAD detectors with TTL output (e.g. Perkin-Elmer SPCM-AQR or PDM-Series) quasi in parallel on one TimeHarp 200 board, allowing users to collect fluorescence lifetime decays on multiple channels simultaneously. This permits simplified collection of e.g. polarization dependent data as well as sophisticated new multi-dimensional fluorescence detection methods in the life sciences or in general sensitive analytics, down to the single molecule level. The 4-channel router is powered by the TimeHarp 200 board and supports both histogramming and Time-tagged Time-resolved (TTTR) mode. The latter allows the recording of each individual photon with its picosecond timing, the arrival time at 100 ns resolution and the detector channel it came from. This permits ultimate flexibility in data analysis e.g. for single molecule burst detection or Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS) combined with fluorescence lifetime information. Using two detectors and TTTR mode it is possible to perform cross correlated FCS, thereby eliminating afterpulsing artefacts of the SPAD detectors.
