“Semrock rebounded from the telecom melt-down that began in 2001 by making a sharp change in direction. BlueStream Ventures was very supportive of this decision despite the uncertainty of tackling an entirely new market outside of their zone of comfort-something that few other investors would have done. Happliy their judgement was sound and the new strategy is paying off.” Victor Mizrahi, Founder and CEO, Semrock, Inc.

Company Profile

Semrock manufactures advanced optical filters for biotech and analytical instrumentation. Semrock has three product platforms: performance optical filters for fluorescence instrumentation & microscopy, Raman instrumentation, and biomedical laser systems. Semrock sells its products through its direct sales force, an extensive network of distributors and resellers, and on-line catalogs. Semrock's products are built upon its own advanced optical coating and filter technology, originally developed for the telecom industry. Sophisticated high-bandwidth telecom applications drove the demand for exacting filters that exceeded the ability of the then-conventional coating technology. By successfully adapting these modern advances to the biotech field, and adding additional tailored innovations, Semrock has been able to set a new standard of optical performance. Semrock filters are brighter, more durable, and spectrally more sophisticated than conventional technology, and are manufactured with greater repeatability, thus driving significant customer improvements such as faster measurement times, reduced downtime, repeatable manufacturing, and lower optical component count.

The MaxMirror® was awarded a 2003 Photonics Circle of Excellence award, given to the technically most innovative new products in photonics.
