Optical Filters for Revolutionary Medical Breakthroughs
Many modern biomedical technologies — from PCR to flow cytometry and DNA sequencing to clinical chemistry analysis — rely on the clarity of fluorescence signal detection. And for more than 30 years, the world’s leading life science original equipment manufacturers have placed their trust in Chroma.
Chroma’s longtime commitment to providing attentive, knowledgeable customer service and complimentary technical support makes them the partner of choice for OEMs and contract manufacturers who require bespoke optical filters.
Today’s advanced scientific landscape requires filters with increased sensitivity and accuracy. Critical signal-to-noise ratios require blocking noise from many sources: excitation from the light source, fluorescence from competing fluorochromes, and both native and reagent-based autofluorescence. Chroma filters provide the clarity to see through the noise.
To develop filters that meet exact performance specifications and to simplify the development and design process, Chroma’s engineers and technical support team know the right questions to ask, applying decades of engineering and collaboration experience.
Their expertise in fluorescence detection — along with our ethos for straight talk and honest communication — is exemplified by long-term relationships with many of the leading life science OEMs.
