optoWELL Calibration

Precise illumination matters when working with light-sensitive molecules. Regardless, if you are photoconverting a cancer-drug, or optimizing fermentation processes: The dose of the light dictates the outcome of every experiment!
Our robotic-enabled calibration and calibration documentation gives you exact intensitiy-values for your experimental planning, scientific publications and sharing data with your colleagues and friends!

Questions about the product?

Our illumination devices offer wavelengths between 365 nm and 980 nm, with additional wavelengths available upon request.

Yes, the optoWELL can be placed in incubators, including those set to 37°C, high humidity, and controlled CO2 levels, as well as bacterial shaker incubators.

Yes, of course! Ideally, use our shaker adapters to fix the optoWELL firmly onto the shaker plate. You want to avoid any unbalance or vibration, to expand the lifetime of your optoWELL and avoid disturbance of your experiment.

The optoWELL comes with 2 different bases 96-well plates and 24-well plates to enable perfect illumination of the most commonly used dishes. Using adapters, we enable illumination of most dishes you use in your lab!

The standard delivery time for optoWELL is 6 to 8 weeks after placing your order.

Yes, we provide a range of 3D-printed adapters that ensure almost perfectly homogeneous illumination for various dishes, including 6-well plates. Ask us about your favourite dish-adapter!

We reuse and recycle packing materials from other shipments and recently switched to biodegradable options. While this means your package may look less perfect, it reflects our commitment to sustainability.

Yes, the optoWELL allows control of illumination in each well through either the API or the graphical user interface, enabling you to create, upload, and run custom illumination profiles for each single well. Hence, each well can be considered an individual reaction chamber.

The so-called LED-gap prevents the manufacturing of high-power LEDs in that range. Hence, we recommend to avoid this range of wavelengths if you want to use LEDs for illumination.

Diffuse, homogeneous light is ideal for illuminating 3D structures, ensuring even distribution from all directions and consistent activation of light-sensitive processes throughout the structure. Homogenous, diffuse light avoids hot spots as well as “shadowing” of 3D structures.

  • In vivo: Light often needs to penetrate more complex, light-scattering tissues, requiring higher intensities.
  • In vitro: Conditions are simpler and more controlled, allowing for lower light intensities.
