EXFO Life Sciences

EXFO Life Sciences was a specialized division of EXFO Inc. that focused on high-precision light-based solutions for the life sciences and industrial sectors. The company was best known for its X-Cite product line, which became an industry standard for fluorescence microscopy illumination by providing stable, high-intensity light sources. Additionally, its OmniCure brand provided advanced UV curing systems used extensively in the assembly of medical devices. In 2010, the division was acquired by Excelitas Technologies, where its core technologies continue to be developed and marketed to researchers and manufacturers worldwide. The entity's primary contribution to the life sciences was the replacement of traditional mercury arc lamps with more reliable and controllable illumination technology.
