How to Avoid the Endless Design Loop

The Challenge: When Initial Choices Limit Performance

Initial system design often relies on readily available components. However, relying solely on standard, off-the-shelf items for a production system can create bottlenecks.

A single necessity, such as improving light delivery or changing a target fluorophore, may force an inevitable filter or light source change. Because these components were not designed together, this can trigger a cascading redesign spiral across optics, mechanics, and electronics, dragging out your time-to-market.

The Solution: Custom Integration for Optimized Systems

When the ultimate goal is optimized performance, streamlined manufacturing, and maximized yield, a fully integrated, customized solution is the answer.
