From cell observation, to sterilization and plant growth, to smart agriculture, life sciences are becoming increasingly familiar to us as a tool to enrich our lives. Light is the key part of that life science. Utilization of light in applications such as "inspection" and "measurement, as well as "growth" and "decomposure", is expanding, and the variety places where epitex LEDs implemented is expanding too.

• Hygiene management

  Disinfection by UV light is a widely used technology, but in addition to disinfection by UV-C, UV-A with a relatively long wavelength is also used in combination with a catalyst. They are being used for adding disinfection and deodorization functions to home appliances and air conditioners. epitex UV-LEDs are available in various packages and wavelength combinations that can be incorporated into various forms. For water quality, soil inspection, etc. as environmental monitoring, we offer all wavelengths compatible with reagents from UV to IR.

  • Sterilization
  • Water testing

• Smart agriculture

  Labor-saving and improving productivity in agriculture are fields that attract attention worldwide.
  Spectral imaging is applied not only to light from horticultural plant factories, but also to the monitoring of breeding and the quality of soil and vegetation in the field. Various wavelengths, from visible to infrared are used in these applications. In the future, it is expected that the field of activity will be further expanded with the advancement of robotics and IoT technology.

  • Plant monitoring
  • Plant growth

• Bio imaging

  Including the rapid development of medical applications of IPS cells, increased application of life sciences to medical and other industries is expected in the future. Underpinning the foundation are imaging tools such as fluorescence microscopes that observe and record cells and their functions in detail. A precisely controlled light source is used to excite the various reagents used for observation.
