BrightLine® Fluorescence Filters for FISH

See What You've Been Missing!
Can better fluorescence filters really make a difference? BrightLine "no-burn-out" filters have been tested widely in the research and clinical fields over many years of use. Produce brighter, higher-contrast images for years to come.
And now extensive independent testing has been performed with the new BrightLine FISH filter sets. A few examples of results are shown here, demonstrating that BrightLine filters definitely make it possible to improve the speed, accuracy, and repeatability of FISH analysis.
Measure Faster with BrightLine!
BrightLine filters allow shorter integration times for faster imaging – especially for automated tasks like metaphase finding. This independent industry laboratory test compares integration times required by BrightLine FISH filter sets to those of competitor filter sets. The automated system based on a Zeiss Axio Imager microscope found metaphase spreads with identical image intensities.
