The compact "smart" ultraviolet laser of the Coherent OBIS XT series has been enhanced to a maximum output of 150 milliwatts and a wavelength of 320nm. A new product, the "OBIS 320 XT," has been added to the compact and reliable "Coherent OBIS XT laser series," featuring CW outputs of 20mW or 40mW. The "OBIS 349 XT" and "OBIS 360 XT" have been released as lasers with outputs of 150mW at wavelengths of 349nm and 360nm, respectively. The 349nm wavelength, in particular, has become mainstream for ultraviolet cytometry applications. The increase in maximum output by 50% enables faster counting and sorting. The high output at 360nm achieves faster throughput for tasks such as sperm sex selection. Additionally, most small lasers for flow cytometry are discarded after their lifespan ends. In contrast, the "OBIS XT lasers" are notable for being repairable at the factory. This feature enhances the value of reliable lasers for OEMs and end-users.
