II-VI Incorporated announced the commercial availability of a complete line of ultraviolet (UV) fluorescence filters for life sciences and biomedical instrumentation including flow cytometry, sequencing and imaging platforms. Critical advances in cancer biology, infectious diseases and immunology have driven the development of new fluorochromes and high-performance optical systems that operate in the UV spectrum. II-VI’s UV fluorescence filters feature spectral profiles with high transmission, steep slopes and deep out of band blocking to enable maximum instrument sensitivity. The optical filter product line for fluorescence spectroscopy includes excitation and emission filters as well as dichroic beam splitters. Single band and multi-band designs are available over a wide spectral range from UV to NIR. UV filters are available in the 200 to 400 nm wavelength band, in various dichroic or bandpass designs.
