CW Blue Laser Diode Module (445/473/488nm) | SIMTRUM Photonics Store

The Stradus® Blue (445nm, 473nm, and 488nm) modules are all direct diode, TEM00 lasers that has the highest possible optical power with the lowest noise levels. The Blue lasers incorporate a patented sealed optics module that ensuring that any contaminants that are generated from the electronics do not affect the optics. Life test data (data available upon request) on Stradus® lasers confirm over 50,000 hours of operation. All Stradus® lasers can be operated directly by supplying 12 volts of DC power to the miniature D-connector on the rear of Stradus® laser head. The laser offers PC connectivity through a RS-232 connector on the Remote Control Box, or alternatively through a USB to mini-USB connector on the Stradus® laser head. The  Stradus® Laser laser system comes with a user interface allowing for ease of use and control of the laser.

FLOW CYTOMETRY

Flow cytometry and Cell Sorting has come a long way since Wolfgang Göhde invented the first fluorescence based system in 1968 at the University of Münster in Germany.  Since then flow cytometers have progressed from the large slow systems using gas lasers into very expensive, multi-wavelength, multi-assay, complex institutional systems. The last few years have seen systems now headed in the direction of single assay clinical applications which are less flexible but more economical with faster turnaround time for critical diagnostics.  The advancements of laser technology including the various colors of direct diodes (488nm and 532nm especially) are opening the door for highly advanced but simplified platforms that require cost effective solutions meeting performance demands, cost requirements, and long term reliability. 

The VersaLase™ system, the Stradus® laser, or the Stradus® Lite are optimal for the various platforms being utilized today and the flexibility of this platform lends itself to future designs.  The VersaLase™ system is a multi-wavelength and highly stable platform that is pre-aligned to a collinear beam or can be spatially separated depending on the application.  The single interface and ease of control along with the reliable beam output make it the perfect solution for a multi-channel system to reduce the cost of aligning various individual lasers during manufacturing.

The Stradus® Laser, with the wavelength flexibility of UV through the visible to the near IR, is the flexible platform to easily integrate multiple illumination wavelengths with the knowledge of a stable, reliable and low optical noise source for reliable fluorescence signal detection. The Stradus® Lite was specifically designed to meet the lower cost but equally demanding clinical flow cytometry market.  The laser is built using the reliable standard Stradus® laser technology but at ¼ the size and ½ the platform cost of the full size module.  It is the perfect solution to reduce costs while still having the performance required for reliable diagnostic data.

CONFOCAL MICROSCOPY IMAGING

When developing a confocal system whether it’s laser scanning, TIRF, laser sheet microscopy, or any other imaging technique, the laser source is the most critical element in your imaging system.  Having a stable, reliable and easy to use light source makes focusing on your imaging techniques and data collection the only items you have to worry about.  With an individual Stradus® lasers or the flexible multiline VersaLase™ system you will have a known, highly reliable and extremely stable illumination inputs for your imaging needs allowing you to focus on your research, not constantly servicing or adjusting your setup.
