Instrumentation

Coherent makes the world healthier by leveraging its expertise in materials, optics, lasers, and thermoelectrics. Our broad portfolio of products for the instrumentation market has been perfected over decades. They have been integrated into high-performance subsystems and produced at scale for our customers in three main applications:

  • Biotechnology instrumentation involves analyzing living organisms and is vital in research and commercial applications such as genetic sequencing, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis, flow cytometry, and diagnostics.
  • Medical laser applications enable cosmetic and ophthalmic treatments as well as dental and other surgical procedures. They are also used in imaging applications that allow medical and biotechnology professionals to peer into the body non-invasively, down to the human cell.
  • Scientific instrumentation rugged enough to be deployed in the field is increasingly essential for testing and monitoring of air, water, food and beverage products, and pharmaceuticals, as environmental and safety concerns become more prevalent.

Around the world, we take pride in the fact that we have some of the best innovators in the industry for all the markets we cover. Our strong global team is deeply committed to our company’s vision of a world transformed through innovations vital to a better life today and the sustainability of future generations.
