Semrock Master Catalog 2018

The Semrock Advantage
Proven Reliability
All Semrock filters demonstrate exceptional reliability.
The simple all-glass structure combined with ion-beamsputtered
hard coatings are virtually impervious to humidity
and temperature induced degradation. Plus, Semrock filters
don’t “burn out” and they can be readily cleaned and handled.
Semrock confidently backs our filters with a comprehensive tenyear
warranty. Built to preserve their high level of performance
in test after test, year after year, our filters reduce your cost
of ownership by eliminating the expense and uncertainty of
replacement costs.
Repeatable Results
Batch-to-batch reproducibility. Whether you are using a filter
manufactured last year or last week, the results will always be
the same. Our highly automated volume manufacturing systems
closely monitor every step of our processes to ensure quality
and performance of each and every filter. End users never need
to worry whether results will vary when setting up a new system,
and OEM manufacturers can rely on a secure supply line.

Superior Performance
Semrock successfully combines the most sophisticated and
modern ion-beam-sputtering deposition systems, renowned
for their stability, with our own proprietary deposition
control technology, unique predictive algorithms, process
improvements, and volume manufacturing capability. The
result is optical filters of unsurpassed performance that set
the standard for the Biotech and Analytical Instrumentation
industries. These filters are so exceptional that they are
patented and award-winning. We never stop innovating.
Semrock’s no burn-out optical filters are all made with
ion-beam sputtering and our exclusively single-substrate
construction for the highest transmission on the market.
Steeper edges, precise wavelength accuracy, and carefully
optimized blocking mean better contrast and faster
measurements – even at UV wavelengths.

Semrock filters have been tested to meet or exceed the requirements for
environmental and physical durability set forth in the demanding U.S. Military
specifications MIL-STD-810F, MIL-C-48497A, MIL-C-675C, as well as the international
standard ISO 9022-2.
