Laser Fluorescence Filters

A collaboration between Cobolt and Semrock, has resulted in the development of optical filters optimized for use with the Cobolt Mambo 594 nm orange laser in fluorescence instrumentation. To realize the benefits of this new laser wavelength, optical filters that are designed with matched spectral properties are needed. Semrock has announced a number of new filters designed specifically for instrumentation based on the 594 nm laser, and ideal for excitation and detection of Texas Red, Alexa Fluor 594, and the popular new fluorescent proteins mCherry and mKate. more
