It’s time to consider a new idea, an innovative system with proven results! Instead of taking the easy path and sticking with the same vendor, make the switch to a company that fully supports your research. Azure Biosystems recently launched the new Sapphire FL, which delivers more than the Typhoon. The Sapphire FL offers:
Visible Fluorescence
NIR Fluorescence
Phosphor Imaging
Chemiluminescence
Fluorescence Detectors: APD + PMT
Automatic Z-plane Imaging Tool
Fluorescence imaging area: 25 x 25 cm
Laser diode lifespan: 40,000 hours
Resolution: 5-1000 µm
Non-proprietary Image Formats
Dynamic Range: > 6 logs

As scientists, we like to pride ourselves on objectively evaluating data before coming to any conclusions, and staying open to new ideas if they are better supported by new information. Purchasing a new piece of lab equipment should be no different, especially when it comes to instruments we entrust to make measurements and record data for our critical studies.
If you’re ready to see what more really means when it comes to a laser scanning imager for your lab, fill out the form above to get more information or set up a virtual demo. Azure’s highly trained staff of Technical Product Specialists, Field Applications Scientists and Application Scientists are dedicated to training and guiding customers in instrument use and application best practices based on publication standards.
