ISS, Inc.

ISS, Inc. is based in Champaign, Illinois and is a leader in frequency-domain spectroscopy lifetime instrumentation and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy data analysis and applications. ISS will be providing several instruments for the course.

Their fluorescence product line includes high sensitivity spectrofluorometers and fluorescence microscopes for time-resolved fluorescence, lifetime imaging (FLIM), fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS).

The spectrofluorometers include the PC1 Photon Counting Spectrofluorimeter, the K2 Lifetime Fluorometer with Picosecond Resolution and Chronos, the compact lifetime fluorometer using laser diodes and light emitting diodes light sources.

The microscopy product line includes Alba, a dual-channel confocal microscope for lifetime imaging and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy using both autocorrelation function analysis and the proprietary photon counting histogram (PCH) analysis.
