The filters' superior contrast and exceptional reliability are unmatched by the older technologies currently used by life-sciences vendors.
'Optical filters are widely used in life science analytical and diagnostic instruments for fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, DNA sequencing, microarrays and other fluorescence applications”, said Steve Turley, Bookham Chief Commercial Officer.
'The introduction of these filters further enhances the Bookham New Focus position as an experienced supplier to the life-sciences market, with multiple tier-1 OEM customers for filters as well as for other products such as optomechanics'.
'The ability to deliver a range of highly differentiated and technically advanced enabling products, like the Clarity fluorescence filters, for this market will greatly benefit life-sciences OEMs”.
With their exceptional signal-to-noise performance, or contrast, Clarity filters enable rapid fluorescence measurements and higher instrument throughput, and therefore greater productivity for OEMs and their customers.
Bookham New Focus also supplies the life-science industry with low-noise detectors, ultrastable optomechanics, high-performance optics, precision lasers and OEM photonics subassemblies.
These filters are the latest additions to the Bookham New Focus photonics tool chest.
Photonics products manipulate light - the flow of photons - just like electronic products manipulate electricity - the flow of electrons.
Photonics represents a key enabling technology in a variety of industries, including semiconductor IC processing, biotechnology, oil well recovery, industrial sensing and telecommunications.
