Semrock Avant Advanced Optical Filters

The new Semrock Avant technology from IDEX health & Science narrows the Gap separating excitation and emission passbands, provides steeper edges, and brings the emission and excitation passbands closer together. The Avant filter set therefore provides significant increases in fluorescence signal.

Recent key, proprietary advances at Semrock made this possible:

• Steeper spectral edges were made possible by improvements in control of the filter coating process.

• The placement of the spectral edges with increased accuracy was made possible by the Precise Edge Placement capability, which results in tightened statistical distribution of edge positions.

As the industry’s best for high-performance optical filters, Semrock products from IDEX Health & Science deliver the stability required for life science, analytical, and medical diagnostic instrumentation. By utilising proprietary hard-sputtered coatings, our filters eliminate environmental degradation and drift—a level of reliability backed by our 10-year warranty. We ensure faster measurements and minimal downtime by prioritising steep edges and deep blocking to maximise your signal-to-noise ratios. From standard components to custom solutions, Semrock filters provide the superior stability and spectral precision necessary to optimise the most demanding optical systems.
