SpectraSplit® 7 - Multicolor Imaging
SpectraSplit® 7 - Multicolor Imaging
Visualizing four colors usually isn’t challenging with conventional bandpass filters. However, when you exceed four colors, the fluorochromes begin to bleed into each other’s channels.
The complete spectrum, from violet to far-red, can only be divided into a certain number of channels before spillover and non-specific signals arise. To achieve a clean signal, each channel must be narrow enough to prevent cross-talk – in other words, maintain specificity – while still capturing as much emission signal as possible.
We have optimized it for you with our patented SpectraSplit® 7, a 7-Channel filter set consisting of 4 bandpass filter sets.

Discover the Power of Seven Colors
Any high-throughput scanning method is enhanced by the use of more colors, as each staining cycle conveys more information. SpectraSplit® 7 is a patented set of bandpass filters that features carefully calculated and tested bandwidths. SpectraSplit® 7 effectively separate seven common classes of fluorochromes without the need for spectral unmixing. The system is compatible with AlexaFluor®dyes, as well as traditional FITC/Cy3/Cy5/Cy7 dyes and many varieties of Opal™ dyes. With its user-friendly design, simply choose one fluorochrome from each class to produce 7-color images free from channel spillover. The data generated requires no spectral unmixing or other types of post-processing.You can proceed directly to analysis with your preferred software.

SpectraSplit® in the VS200 Research Slide Scanner from Evident
The SpectraSplit® 7 is available as a seven-channel option on the VS200 Research Slide Scanner from Evident. In conjunction with a high-performance microscope, SpectraSplit® 7 enhances your visual capabilities. For more information, please reach out to your Evident sales representative.
We’ve imaged over 2,500 highly-multiplexed slides with the SpectraSplit 7 filters in the past year and the data in every single sample set is crisp and clean. Our users do a large amount of RNAScope staining utilizing the Opal dye set and it’s been a game changer for us to have the SpectraSplit filters that are precisely matched to these dyes. The imaged samples have been a wide range of tissue sections and cultured cells and none of my other microscopes, both filter-based and with spectral detection, match the Opals as well as SpectraSplit 7.
