Avant single-band filter set, optimized for Cy5, Alexa Fluor 647, ATTO 643 and other like fluorophores

Semrock Part Number: Avant-Cy5-NQF

IDEX Part Number: S-434626  /

This filter set is designed for use with Cy5 and Alexa Fluor 647 and works well with ATTO 643, ATTO 647 and other Red 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.

TopicDescription
Cleaning Optical FiltersInstructions for cleaning hard coated optical filters
Filter ReliabilityCompares the performance and reliability of hard coated filters to traditional soft-coated filters and provides information about the testing standards for Semrock filters
Working with Optical Density Tables to describe the relationship between OD and transmission with tips for quickly calculating OD
What is Pixel Shift, and how does the Semrock ZERO option help? Why Pixel Shift degrades multicolor fluorescence imaging performance, and how the ZERO™ option mitigates this for Avant and BrightLine filter sets.

This set is mounted in a Nikon NQF Quadfluor Fluorescence Filter Holder, which is compatible with Nikon microscopes E200, E400, E600, E800, E1000, TS100, TS100F, TE 200, TE 300, ME600L, L150A, and some Labophot, Optiphot, and Diaphot series.
