Optical filters for life science

Fluorescence-Instrument-Filters

Fluorescence filters are a key component in life science fluorescence instruments and are used to selectively transmit light of certain wavelengths while blocking others. Fluorescence filters typically consist of a combination of a bandpass filter and a longpass or shortpass filter.

There are several types of fluorescence filters available, including interference filters, absorption filters, and dichroic filters. Interference filters are commonly used in fluorescence instruments because they provide high transmission of specific wavelengths with minimal spectral bleed-through. Absorption filters are less expensive but are less efficient than interference filters. Dichroic filters are used to reflect or transmit specific wavelengths, depending on the angle of incidence.

Coligh’s advanced optical filters for life science – the perfect solution for your fluorescence imaging needs!

Our optical filters for life science instrument provide maximum performance and precision in fluorescence imaging. It consists of a combination of bandpass, longpass, and shortpass filters that work together to selectively transmit and block light of specific wavelengths, resulting in clearer and more accurate imaging.

With Coligh’s life science optical filters, you can:

  •  Isolate your excitation and emission wavelengths with high precision, eliminating background noise and increasing signal-to-noise ratio.
  • Selectively filter out unwanted scattered light and background fluorescence for sharper, clearer images.
  • Enhance the sensitivity and accuracy of your measurements, improving the reproducibility of your results.
  • Providing unparalleled accuracy and reliability

Whether you’re conducting basic research, drug discovery, or clinical diagnostics, our fluorescence instrument filter is the perfect choice for your needs.

Our fluorescence filter is suitable for a wide range of applications, including life science research,fluorescence instruments medical diagnostics.

Some of the fluorescence instruments that require fluorescence filters include:

  •  Fluorescence microscopes
  • Flow cytometers
  • Plate readers
  • Fluorometers
  • Spectrofluorometers
  • Fluorescence imaging systems
  • Confocal microscopes
  • Fluorescence-activated cell sorters (FACS)
  • Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) systems
  • Fluorescence polarization instruments.
  • Plate readers.

It is also compatible with various fluorescent dyes and probes, allowing you to perform multi-color imaging with ease.

Biomedical Filters

optical filters for life science

Biomedical filters are used in microplate readers to selectively filter light based on its wavelength, allowing for specific detection and quantification of biomolecules such as proteins, DNA, and RNA.

Microplate readers typically use a variety of filters to detect and quantify the absorbance or fluorescence of different biomolecules. The filters are usually located in the filter wheel of the microplate reader, and can be easily switched out depending on the experiment being performed.
