Glacier X

DATASHEET

Glacier X (BTC112E-ST1) is a compact and efficient linear CCD spectrometer designed for ease of use. It features a TE-Cooled design which ensures thermal stability over time as well as providing a reduction in dark current allowing for longer integration times than traditional non-cooled models. With its USB interface and included cable, it is easy to connect to your computer.

The off-the-shelf model is equipped with a SMA 905 fiber coupler for light input and has a wavelength range of 350 - 1050 nm with a spectral resolution of 1.4 nm (FWHM). Customizations and configurations with different diffraction gratings or entrance slits means we can make a spectrometer that fits your spectroscopy needs. 

Key Features

  • UV - NIR ranges
  • TE cooled / regulated
  • 16-bit digitizer
  • 500 kHz readout speed
  • Plug-and-play USB 2.0
  • OEM version available

Custom Capabilities

Custom spectrometer configurations and advanced application support are available for OEM customers. The combined temperature cooling and regulation, together with its compact form factor makes the Glacier TE Cooled spectrometer a favorite choice of OEM system integrators. The TE cooling makes it possible for weak signals, such as fluorescence and Raman, to be integrated for sufficient time to accumulate measurable signals for detection, resulting in a far superior signal-to-noise ratio.
