OBIS LS/LX lasers set the standard for compact, versatile laser sources. They pack a punch—offering over 30 wavelengths from UV to near-IR—making them suitable for nearly any fluorochrome or application. Their plug-and-play design means quick setup and reliable performance right out of the box. With fiber-coupled options and integrated electronics, these lasers simplify complex workflows. High-frequency modulation adds another layer of flexibility, streamlining instrument design and boosting productivity. For demanding research or clinical labs, OBIS LS/LX lasers deliver consistent, top-tier performance—compact, adaptable, and ready to elevate your work.
Built for versatility and ease of use, OBIS LS/LX lasers combine broad spectral coverage with user-friendly features :
OBIS LS/LX lasers are the original smart laser platform—trusted for their simplicity and performance across clinical and research environments. Whether upgrading existing systems or building new ones, they deliver dependable power, broad spectral coverage, and seamless integration.
Lower-quality lasers in your flow cytometer leads to data points that are scattered and difficult to identify, costing everyone time and money with additional tests. Lasers with the best signal-to-noise ratio produce not only higher-quality data, but also enable the user to work with higher dynamic range, more finesse, and less noise. OBIS LX lasers have <0.05% RMS Noise, enabling your signal data to stand out with superior clarity. Choose from over 50 different models based on wavelength, power, fiber-pigtailing, and modulation options. Identical format enables hot swapping by OEMs and end users.
