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

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