Fluorescence Standards
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,
are thermally stable, 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.

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.), Green (approx
530 em. max.), Orange (multiple peaks -
major at ~590 nm), and Red (multiple emission peaks, primary
at
630 and 660 nm). While Avian Technologies no longer offers traceable
calibration for these fluors, calibrations for these materials
can be obtained from the National
Research Council Canada by contacting
Dr. Joanne Zwinkels.
The standards are available in eight emission colors: Blue (451 nm emission max.),
Blue-Green (485 emission), Green (approx 530 em. max.), Yellow-Green (535 nm emission)
Orange (multiple peaks - major at ~590 nm), Red-orange (605 nm emission) and Red
(multiple emission peaks, primary at 630 and 660 nm).
The standards below are all 2" diameter thermoplastic in delrin holders.
These are available uncalibrated. Please
call for pricing information.
Custom sizes and configurations of most of our fluorescent materials are available upon request.

Daylight-Activated Chromatic Fluorescent Materials
These tiles are similar in design and materials to the FTS whiteness standards.
They are available in glossy and matte surface preparations, and can be purchased calibrated or uncalibrated.
