The brightest, clearest choice for life science applications
Semrock has become the standard in optical filters for the life science industry, applying patented design techniques to create some of the most spectrally sophisticated optical filters on the market. Whether you select from the extensive catalogue or have a custom filter designed to your exact specifications, you can be confident of Semrock’s uncompromising quality, reliability and reproducible results.
Optical filters with unparalleled performance
Semrock’s filters let you push the limits of signal-to-noise in your instrument design. Steep edges maximise the bandwidth that can be accessed in each detection channel, while high transmission or reflection captures every photon possible. Deep and extended blocking capabilities out of band are optimised based on your application, reducing noise and minimising crosstalk between channels.
- Fluorescence filters: singleband, multiband, laser line, tunable
- Edge filters: longpass, shortpass, ultrasteep, 29 laser wavelengths
- Dichroic beamsplitters: broadband, laser, multiphoton
- Laser filters: clean-up, ultrasteep edge, dichroics, notch

Filters designed for optimal system performance
When Semrock designs optical filters for a system, it looks at how they will work together, carefully optimising blocking and passbands to work as a unit with your specific application in mind. This approach is enabled by Semrock’s staggering batch-to-batch re-producibility and years of reliability test data, both of which show consistency you can design and depend on.
You can also see how filters will work together using Semrock’s SearchLight™ online tool, selecting your fluorophores, filters, light sources and detectors to evaluate the performance of a prospective fluorescence instrument design. The MyLight™ tool takes it one step further, allowing you to predict standard filter performance under non-standard conditions.
Manufactured for reliability and reproducibility, in volume
Semrock has refined its production processes with the same approach to excellence embodied in its optical designs. All filters coated in Semrock’s sophisticated sputtering deposition chambers are tested extensively both in-situ and postproduction to ensure performance and quality, and can be scaled easily from prototype to volume production with no change in performance.
- Minimal lot-to-lot variability boosts your system-to-system reproducibility
- Superior environmental and optical reliability reduces system downtime in the field
