Vinci offers unparalled performance to the end-user through three distinct features:

Instrument Control

Vinci provides full control over all automated instrument components, including shutters, polarizers, sample holders, monochromators, and enables integration of external devices such as stopped-flow apparatus, titrator, and temperature bath. Vinci’s remote interface allows ISS Support Personnel to access any instrument in the world via internet and conduct a remote diagnostic check-up.

Data Acquisition

Vinci offers a variety of data acquisition options (spectra, lifetime, kinetics, titrations) through built-in, easy-to-use, routines and allows the user to generate, store and rerun custom-designed data acquisition protocols. Data are stored in ASCII format for convenient access from other software packages.

Data Analysis

Vinci's fast fitting routines allow to retrieve multiple decay times and multiple rotational correlation times, to obtain time-resolved spectra with picosecond resolution and to separate steady-state spectra of up to three components in a mixture using the phase- and modulation-resolved spectra measurement option. Other operations include smoothing, derivative, calculation of area and arithmetic between files. A superb graphical interface generates and displays 2D and 3D plots that can be exported in internet- and presentation-ready formats. A report can be saved in Word- or pdf-format.
