OD8 Fluorescence Bandpass Filters deliver superior OD ≥8 blocking in their blocking band while offering high transmission in their transmission band. These hard-coated interference filters feature high-precision spectral consistency and enable industry leading signal-to-noise system performance and low crosstalk. They are available in black anodized aluminum mounts or unmounted in 6 x 6mm wafers for easy system integration. OD8 Fluorescence Bandpass Filters are ideal components in applications relying on fluorescence detection that require precision spectral clean-up, such as biomedical diagnostics instruments including DNA sequencers and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analyzers. These filters are designed with passbands for the fluorescence excitation and emission of common qPCR fluorophores in mind, namely FAM, HEX, ROX and Cy5.
