ROCHESTER,
N.Y., July 21, 2008 – Semrock, Inc,
today announced the release of its new 68-page, full-color
2008-09
optical filter catalog. This latest catalog presents
eight product families, and introduces over 50 new
optical filter products, for applications ranging
from fluorescence instrumentation and microscopy
to Raman spectroscopy and other laser analytical
instrumentation. There is also a series of 22 helpful
tutorial notes.
The
2008-09 catalog features many new products that further
enhance
Semrock’s already extensive range
of “no burn-out” BrightLine fluorescence
filters. Of special note is the new line of Laser Fluorescence
filter sets that are available for the most popular lasers
used in fluorescence imaging, including newer all-solid-state
lasers that are rapidly replacing older gas-laser technology.
The
catalog also features the latest additions to the state-of-the-art
and ultra-steep “E-grade” RazorEdge
long-wave-pass filters for Raman spectroscopy, and the
MaxLine series of narrow laser cleanup filters, as well
as a new line of EdgeBasic long-wave-pass filters. The
new EdgeBasic filters are hard-coated optical filters
that share all the high transmission (98% typical) and
deep laser-line blocking (optical density > 6) performance
of Semrock’s popular ultrasteep RazorEdge filters,
but with edge steepness that is tailored for cost-sensitive “application-specific” Raman
systems, while adding wideband blocking that makes them
excellent for fluorescence applications.
Also
announced with the new catalog are Semrock’s
new rapid custom-sizing services in under a week, and
a 30-day return policy.
Semrock
manufactures and stocks a broad range of catalog products
for biotech
and analytical instrumentation applications,
from the popular RazorEdge filters, complementary MaxLine
laser clean-up filters, and StopLine notch filters for
Raman spectroscopy and laser systems, to BrightLine filters
for fluorescence microscopy and instrumentation. Most
Semrock catalog products ship quickly, and all are covered
under the company’s industry-leading five-year
warranty.
