Avant single-band filter set, optimized for Alexa Fluor 546, ATTO 550 and other like fluorophores

Semrock Part Number: Avant-AF546-000

IDEX Part Number: S-434167  /

Semrock


This filter set is designed for use with Alexa Fluor 546, ATTO 550 and works well with other like fluorophores. The Avant™ filter set family delivers significant increases in fluorescence performance for small Stokes Shift fluorophores compared to standard filter sets. Steep spectral edges and high complementary OD blocking maximize signal while maintaining low bleedthrough and high signal to noise ratio. The new Precise Edge Placement capability ensures every filter set delivers consistent performance.

Optical Specifications Value
Blocking Avant filters have blocking far exceeding OD 5 as needed to ensure a black background, even when using modern low-noise CCD cameras. The blocking is optimized for microscopy applications using our exclusive SpecMakerâ„¢ fluorescence filter design.
General Filter Specifications Value
Optical Damage Rating Testing has proven to show no signs of degradation when exposed to at least 6.0 W of power from an unfiltered xenon arc lamp over a 25 mm diameter (corresponding to 1.2 W/cm2) for over 500 hrs.
Microscope Compatibility Avant filters are available to fit Leica, Nikon, Olympus, Zeiss, and Aperio microscopes.
Physical Filter Specifications   Value
Orientation Reflective surface marked with part number - Orient in direction of incoming light
Exciter/Emitter Orientation Arrow on ring indicates preferred direction of propagation of light.
