Optical Tissue Phantoms and Characterization Services

No fluorophore?
No problem!

OptiBlox® phantoms are available in standard formulations and sizes, each supplied with a lot-specific optical property report for quality and reproducibility.

We specialize in producing tissue-mimicking optical phantoms designed to replicate the absorption and scattering properties of biological tissue. These reference materials support consistent testing and validation of biomedical imaging systems.
