Andover, UK -- Last year saw the launch of CoolLED’s  eight-channel pE-800 Illumination System. After its phenomenal success, we took a closer look at expanding this ground-breaking technology for the calcium imaging community by swapping in a 340 and 380 nm LED.

And here’s what we came up with – the pE-800^fura for lightning-fast calcium imaging, pH monitoring, ratiometric fluorescence, FRET and everyday fluorescence microscopy, pictured right.

• Fluorescence Freedom: 8 powerful LEDs span 340-635 nm to cover all popular calcium and pH indicators, fluorophores and opsins from Fura-2 to Cy5, as well as futureproofing for novel fluorophores as they become available.
• Lightning-fast microscopy: Capture dynamic events at the highest temporal resolution and enhance the accuracy of ratiometric measurements with <7 µs TTL triggering.
• Affordable automation: Transform a manual microscope into a powerful automated imaging system, with inline excitation filters and our unique 8-channel Sequence Runner for triggering illumination sequences with just a single TTL-out of a camera.

• Low phototoxicity: Protect your experiments from phototoxicity and photobleaching and push the boundaries of time-lapse studies with fine irradiance control and individual channel switching via software, digital and analogue.

Backed by CoolLED’s world-renowned support and warranty, the pE-800^fura joins the popular pE-800 in the pE-800 Series which makes next-generation LED illumination technology accessible to life science researchers worldwide.

The pE-800^fura is available to pre-order today, and will have a three week lead time from 22^nd November, 2021.
