Advancing Flow Cytometry Precision with VECSEL-Based Flow Cytometry Lasers
Modulight expands its ML6600 product family with new high-performance flow cytometry lasers designed to meet the rigorous demands of cell analysis and sorting. Featuring Modulight’s OP-VECSEL (Optically-Pumped Vertical-External-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser) core technology, these latest ML6600 variants offer unparalleled stability, beam quality, and efficiency for biomedical research and diagnostics.
Building on the success of the ML6600 platform, the new flow cytometry laser variants provide ultra-low-noise continuous-wave (CW) emission with diffraction-limited beam quality and efficient harmonic generation for optical power scaling up to one Watt. The platform supports key wavelengths such as 488 nm, 561 nm, and 349 nm, optimized for fluorochrome activation and precise sample excitation. Additionally, Modulight’s broad wavelength range—from UV to 2000+ nm—ensures compatibility with both commercial and emerging fluorophores.
“By integrating VECSEL technology into our trusted ML6600 platform, we’re delivering a comprehensive, high-performance flow cytometry laser solution,” says Modulight’s CTO, Dr. Petteri Uusimaa. “Our flow cytometry customers benefit from superior beam quality, higher power output, and seamless operation at critical wavelengths.”
The ML6600 flow cytometry laser platform also features advanced thermal management, a hermetically sealed design, and integrated cloud connectivity for remote diagnostics and predictive maintenance. With these innovations, Modulight continues to set the industry benchmark for reliability and efficiency in flow cytometry lasers.
