Our Technologies...

With over 20 years of experience, LI-COR Biosciences is a leader in imaging technologies that expand analysis for genomic and proteomic applications. The technology behind LI-COR’s innovative solutions is based on detection at near-infrared wavelengths. Researchers gain a competitive advantage with these technologies due to the low background and high sensitivity that can be achieved using the near-infrared spectral region. Our hardware designs include everything from laser-based excitation systems to proprietary CCD camera designs that have advanced noise reduction capabilities for peak sensitivity.

Infrared fluorophore design and production are also part of our core competencies. Our patented IRDye^® Infrared Dyes can be used to label nucleic acids, antibodies, proteins, peptides, viruses, cytokines, chemokines, and more. To remain ahead of advancing trends, new fluorophores and labeling methods are constantly in development.

Customers often remark that images produced from LI-COR products are more clear and informative. These results are an expression of the underlying technologies, which includes software that utilizes the latest techniques to visualize, analyze, and make data more understandable. Integrated solutions comprising hardware, software and labeling technologies have been responsible for many “firsts”, including the first truly quantitative Western blots on the Odyssey Infrared Imaging System.

Our solutions are designed for high reliability and ease of use because we understand the impact that instrumentation problems and difficult lab procedures can have on your research. That’s why we’re committed to providing the highest level of service with readily-available field application scientists to answer your questions. When you call us with a question, you’ll be talking to an expert.
