Spectroscopy
The area of spectroscopy has revolutionized global scientific research and diagnostics, providing key breakthroughs in a huge amount of areas. For industrial laboratories, the near-infrared scanning range offers great potential for the analysis of raw materials, and PURAVIS® glass optical fibers provide the ideal delivery system for these wavelengths.
Fluorescence-based applications
PURAVIS® fibers have an increasing presence in fluorescence-based analytical equipment – the advanced technology that uses fluorescent imaging to detect caries, cancers, and other abnormalities. Since PURAVIS® offers excellent transmission in the near-UV range, it's ideal for photodynamic diagnostics (PDD) at 405 nm. PURAVIS® also enables applications in the indocyanine green range (ICG).
Dentistry
Excellent light transmission makes PURAVIS® glass optical fibers ideal for SCHOTT Light Guide Rods, which are widely used in dentistry to deliver precise and controllable illumination. PURAVIS® is the first choice for applications such as the fast curing of photo-polymerizable filling materials, as well as helping to detect cancer and caries with the use of fluorescent light.
