BioLED Light Source Solution Selection Guide

Mightex BLS-series BioLED light sources are modularized fully-customizable turn-key solutions for optogenetics, fluorescence excitation, and other biophotonics applications. Precisely-timed and high-intensity light pulses are required in optogenetics experiments to activate channelrhodopsins (ChR2, ChR1 etc.) and halorhodopsins (NpHR) in order to excite and inhibit neurons. To meet these requirements, Mightex has developed a proprietary “IntelliPulsing” technology to allow BLS-series sources to output significantly higher power in pulse mode than what the LEDs are rated for in CW mode. Below is a BioLED product selection guide:




The chart below shows the LED wavelengths that Mightex has to offer as of July 2012:

Step-1: Add a BioLED Control Module (P/N: BLS-SA04-US or BLS-SA02-US) to shopping cart;

Step-2: Add desired BLS-series Optical Heads (e.g. BLS-FCS-0470 etc.) to shopping cart; and

Step-3: In the notes section, mark the channel positions on the BioLED Control Module for each Optical Head. For example: Channel#1: BLS-FCS-0470, Channel#2: BLS-PLS-0590-030, Channel#3: 530nm LED in BLS-WFC-H2-0530-0625, and Channel#4: 625nm LED in BLS-WFC-H2-0530-0625. Order completed.
