A fluorometer is a laboratory instrument that allows the analysis, identification and quantification of chemicals with molecules capable of presenting fluorescence, using the technique of fluorescence spectrophotometry or fluorometry.
This equipment is a special optical device capable of measuring the fluorescent quality of biological or mineral samples. Fluorescence is a type of luminescence that occurs in certain substances, which gives them the quality of being able to absorb electromagnetic radiation (light), and to emit some of that energy as radiation at a wavelength different from that absorbed.
