When you need experts in optical systems and high-volume thin film filters, IDEX Health & Science is there with on-time delivery, guaranteed product performance, responsiveness with issues, and collaborative solutions.
When you are developing optical instrumentation you continually face new challenges: new customer requirements and product expectations, evolving technologies, changing markets, and the need for a rapid and decisive response. To help you conquer those challenges, IDEX Health & Science provides superior products and expert, personalized support.
“These new systems represent the pinnacle of harsh environment Raman spectroscopy sensing," said Quentin Morgan, CTO of WellDog. "The new systems not only provide better sensing performance, but are more ruggedized and reliable than previous generations."
WellDog announced that its next generation of Reservoir Raman Spectroscopy™ systems, designed for monitoring challenging in situ coal seam environments and utilizing Semrock’s rugged and reliable RazorEdge® filters, are now in service.
Our facility in Rochester, NY is specialized for volume production of Semrock optical filters for the life science and analytical instrumentation markets, in addition to manufacturing filters for laser and optical systems applications. Our products exclusively feature hard, thin-film sputtered coating for proven reliability. These filters will not change or degrade in any way as a result of humidity or temperature variations, nor will they “burn out” with normal use use. All of our products are backed by our industry-leading ten-year warranty.
Overall, Semrock filters are brighter, more durable, and spectrally more sophisticated than those made by other coating technologies, driving significant improvements for our customers and their applications: faster measurement times, reduced downtime, repeatable manufacturing, and lower optical component count.
We make our unique products with lot-to-lot consistency in high volumes, providing our OEM customers with a dependable supply. We find solutions “within the box” of our standard catalog, and “out of the box” with the help of our expert design staff, and we apply each strategy in the right proportion.
With thousands of in stock items available for shipment the same day, combined with our ability to custom-size these items (typically in less than a week) and perform custom co-development engineering with fast prototyping, we can quickly provide intelligent solutions that meet your price points.
