FISH Filter Sets
It’s not just what you want to see, it’s what you don’t want to see
Chroma's optimized ET FISH filter sets give you:
- Best combination of: Contrast, Brightness, Color Separation & Image Registration
- More filter choices to minimize bleedthrough. Eliminate bleedthrough of Gold or Aqua into Green channel. Get rid of Gold and Orange bleedthrough into Red channel.
- Multi Band filter sets offer a pleasing DAPI counterstain that's less bright, so that other signals are not overwhelmed by too much DAPI signal.
- More Single Band, Dual Band, Triple Band and Quad Band filter sets offer more hybridization choices.
- Zero-pixel-shift filter sets provide perfect image registration.
Never replace your filters again! Chroma's next generation ET sputtered filters for FISH are durable hard-coated filters, won't "burn out" or delaminate, and are backed by our Lifetime Warranty.
