ML6600 Expands with VECSEL-Based Variants for Flow Cytometry
Advancing Flow Cytometry Precision with VECSEL Laser Cores
Modulight expands its ML6600 product family with new variants designed to meet the rigorous demands of flow cytometry applications. Featuring Modulight’s OP-VECSEL (Optically-Pumped Vertical-External-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser) core technology, these latest ML6600 variants offer unprecedented performance and reliability for biomedical research and diagnostics.
Building on the success of the ML6600 platform, the new 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 level. The platform supports key wavelengths such as 488 nm, 561 nm, and 349 nm. These capabilities ensure precise fluorochrome activation and sample excitation, addressing the most critical needs of flow cytometry workflows. Additionally, Modulight covers the wavelength range spanning from UV up to 2000+ nm, supporting widely both the commercial and in-development dyes.
“By integrating VECSEL technology into our trusted ML6600 platform, we’re delivering a comprehensive, high-performance solution for flow cytometry,” says Modulight’s CTO, Dr. Petteri Uusimaa. “Our Flow Cytometry customers can now benefit from improved beam quality, higher power output, and seamless operation at these critical wavelengths.”
The ML6600 platform for flow cytometry includes advanced thermal management, a hermetically sealed design, and integrated cloud connectivity for remote diagnostics and predictive maintenance. With these new additions, Modulight continues to set the standard for reliability and efficiency in laser technology. For more information, visit modulight.com or contact sales@modulight.com.
Modulight will showcase its broad range of products, including the VECSEL-based solutions for Flow Cytometry, at Photonics West 2025 in San Francisco, Jan. 28 - 30, Booth #2167.
