Axiphos Plastic Fluorescent Standards
Avian Technologies is happy to announce that it is the sole North
American representative for the new Axiphos fluorescent standards.
Developed by Dr. Claudio Puebla, formerly of Ciba-Geigy, these
standards for CIE whiteness range in whiteness values from appx.
98 to appx. 138 whiteness. The standards have extremely low gloss
and are thermally and exhibit high light-fastness. These standards
are used as secondary fluorescent standards for instruments measuring
whiteness.
The standards are available in a number of configurations, from
sets of six to individual standards. The standards are available
as 35 mm or 40 mm diameter size and come mounted in a black ABS
holder with an anodized aluminum cover. Please contact Avian
Technologies for configurations, standard sets, and prices. These standards
are available both uncalibrated (with uncertified approximate
whiteness values) and calibrated through our partner Mitaten Finland,
who offers bispectral calibrations traceable to both National
Research Council Canada and the KCL (Finnish National Paper Laboratory).
| Part # |
Description |
| AXIFS-XX-040 |
Single standard (where XX is the desired whiteness value)
40 mm diameter. |
| AXIFS-XX-035 |
Single standard (where XX is the desired whiteness value)
35 mm diameter. |
| AXIFS-XX,YY,ZZ-NN |
where XX, YY, ZZ are the desired whiteness values and NN
And NN is the diameter (either 35 or 40 mm) |
Price is dependent on number of standards in the array.
Whiteness values from appx 98 to 138 are available. Calibrations
will be performed on a contract basis.

Highly Chromatic Plastic Fluorescent Standards
These fluorescent chromatic standards are of considerably higher chroma than our other chromatic fluorescent standards. The pigmented polyester films are very close in color to those used in safety signage and clothing.
The set consists of a, yellow (emission max of appx. 540 nm), orange
(emission max of appx. 610 nm), and
red (emission max of appx. 630 nm). The standards come mounted
in a clamshell-like holder that protects the artifact when not
in use. The active area of each standard is 2" (50.8 mm) square.
The set is housed in a wooden box.
These sets may also be calibrated using the Avian/Mitaten Bispectral
Fluorescence instruments. See our Measurement Services page for rate information.

High Brightness Standard
The high brightness fluorescent standard possesses the highest CIE brightness of any currently available plastic material. The acrylic substrate is doped with an optical brightener and opacifying agents to give a CIE brightness of over 150. Tint values are in the range of 7. These standards are 52 mm x 75 mm and come in a convenient black Delrin holder with an anodized aluminum cover.

Medium Brightness/Low Tint Standard
Similar to the Ciba/Hoehenstein plastic standard, this standard displays a CIE brightness of approximately 125+/-5 with a tint of less than 1. The standard is available either as a 52 mm x 75 mm chip or in a Delrin holder with an anodized aluminum cover.

UV-Activated Chromatic Fluorescent Materials
These fluorescent materials are produced with highly stable inorganic
fluorescent pigments in a stable thermoplastic resin. The standards
are very matte and are available as 2" diameter (51 mm) standards
in a Delrin holder with cover. The standards are available in
five emission colors: Blue(451 nm emission max.), Blue-Green (480
nm em. max.), Green (appx 530 em. max.), Orange (multiple peaks-
major at ~590 nm), and Red (multiple emission peaks, primary at
630 and 660 nm). Standards are available uncalibrated and calibrated,
traceable to NRC and KCL.
