OBIS LS/LX Summary

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.
