Extract

"For fluorescence excitation, a pE-800 light source (CoolLED, UK) with eight separate LED channels allowed narrowband excitation, and filter cubes with BrightLine Pinkel filter sets (penta-band set: LED-DA/FI/TR/Cy5/Cy7-5X-A; Semrock, IDEX Health and Science, USA) and OptoSpin filter wheels (Cairn GmbH, Germany) allowed capturing of narrowband fluorescent emission signals.

Sustainability

Did you know that LED illumination systems help laboratories reduce their carbon footprint, protecting laboratory staff along the way?

Toxic mercury-based microscope illuminators are bad news for the environment, draw a lot of power and have a short lifetime.

LED illumination systems are cleaner, have a long lifetime and use less power. Our pE-300 Series is also ACT label certified and is a natural choice for labs who want to play their part in helping the environment.
