Our highest performing model with a wide range of accessories for maximum flexibility
J-1500 Circular Dichroism Spectrophotometer
Our highest performing model with a wide range of accessories for maximum flexibility.
The J-1500 allows for the maximum flexibility to upgrade your CD system with different measurement techniques. While the standard measurement modes are CD, LD, and absorbance, up to four simultaneous modes can be measured when combined with a wide range of sampling accessories.
System description
The accessories for J-1000 series can measure a variety of samples, from liquids to films to solid-states. Temperature control systems can be coupled with multi-position cells to run thermal melts, providing researchers with CD and thermodynamic data sets for conformational and folding studies. Automated high-throughput CD can obtain measurements on up to 192 samples without user intervention, saving both time and money. Kinetic and protein dynamics studies can be performed with our dedicated stopped-flow systems that can measure both CD and fluorescence.
The wavelength range has also been significantly extended, allowing measurements to be obtained in both the vacuum-UV and NIR spectral regions using the standard PMT detector (163 – 950 nm) and an optional InGaAs detector (up to 1600 nm). Additional features now allow researchers to optimize their parameter specifications in order to obtain data with the highest resolution and S/N performance for a specific application set.

Instrument performance
Enhanced Vacuum-UV Measurement
The innovative optical system of the J-1500 permits the measurement of a CD spectrum in the vacuum-UV region down to 163 nm. The enhanced light throughput and new digital lock-in technology now allows for a small signal to be detected in a very noisy environment. Additionally, the optimization of the nitrogen purge efficiency helps to reduce the amount of oxygen in the optical bench so it does not bury the sample signal.
These features ensure that CD spectra can be obtained from strongly absorbing and high signal-to-noise (S/N) samples across the spectrum and into the vacuum-UV region. The quality of spectral data obtained, including data obtained at shorter wavelengths, substantially improves the accuracy of protein secondary structure analysis.

Exceptional Stray-Light Rejection
The double polarizing prism monochromators of the J-1000 series result in stray light lower than 0.0003%, enabling the instruments to obtain high-quality CD data even under conditions with high absorbances
High Sensitivity and Wide Dynamic Range of PMT Detector.
The PMT detectors used in the JASCO system are specially selected for the highest sensitivity and lowest birefringence. The wide dynamic range of the PMT detector ensures that large variations in signal intensity can still be detected, even for highly absorbing samples. The result is superior linearity between concentration and absorbance compared to other types of detectors including solid-state APD and CCD detectors.
The gain on a PMT detector is much larger than most detectors, and therefore the signal amplification is larger. Under conditions with adequate light intensity, this typically leads to a larger amount of noise and therefore a lower S/N ratio. However, under conditions where there is a small amount of light hitting the detector (i.e. far-UV region), the gain of the PMT allows for good signal amplification at very low noise, increasing the S/N ratio.

However, under conditions where there is a small amount of light hitting the detector (i.e. far-UV region), the gain of the PMT allows for good signal amplification at very low noise, increasing the S/N ratio.
Rapid Scanning
High sensitivity combined with a 10,000 nm-per-minute maximum scan speed allows the J-1500 to measure samples quickly, increasing productivity in your lab. An additional benefit is the minimal time exposure of biological samples to the high-energy UV light, minimizing the risk of sample degradation. A mechanical shutter can also be programmed to open and close only during actual measurement to further avoid UV exposure.
Highest S/N Performance
The high S/N (signal-to-noise) performance of the J-1000 series is achieved by a high throughput optical system and low-noise signal processing. RMS Noise < 0.004 mdeg (185 nm) for the J-1500 and J-1700, < 0.03 mdeg (200 nm) for J-1100.
Simultaneous Multi-Probe Measurements
The latest quad-channel lock-in amplifier provides simultaneous acquisition of up to four data channels including CD, HT, DC, absorbance, linear dichroism (LD), fluorescence, fluorescence-detected CD (FDCD), fluorescence-detected LD (FDLD) and fluorescence anisotropy.
Additionally, the lock-in amplifier obtains a signal at a specific resonance frequency while filtering out noise signals at other frequencies, providing spectra with excellent signal-to-noise ratios.

Overview
The only CD instrument designed to explore the structure and stability of biomolecules by providing the maximum signal-to-noise under highly absorbing, low light intensity conditions of the far-UV spectral region.
The J-1000 Series Circular Dichroism spectrophotometers are specifically designed for high sensitivity measurements in the near- and far-UV regions, for scientists that need confidence in the data from characterization studies of biomolecule structure, function and stability under a wide variety of experimental conditions.

UV, Visible, and NIR measurements up to 2500 nm for MCD and specialized applications
J-1700 Circular Dichroism Spectrophotometer
UV, Visible, and NIR measurements up to 2500 nm for MCD and specialized applications.
The J-1700 was specifically designed for more demanding near-infrared CD applications. In addition to the enhanced far-UV capabilities, researchers probing the chiral activity of molecules in the NIR spectral region now have the ability to obtain data at wavelengths up to 2500 nm
System description
The InGaAs detector has a wavelength range from 900-2500 nm, while the PMT ranges from 163-960 nm. The automatic detector interchange allows researchers to obtain both far-UV and NIR measurements without having to manually switch detectors. The addition of a grating monochromator to the double-prism monochromator setup provides low stray light and high light intensity, generating CD signals with high S/N performance throughout a large spectral range.
NIR-CD applications vary from conformational and chirality studies of metal coordination complexes to tuning chiral properties of nanomaterials. Additionally, Magnetic Circular Dichroism (MCD) can be used in conjunction with NIR-CD to probe a chromophore’s electronic structure as well as to induce chirality in compounds.
