Since the launch of the Paper Reward Program in 2017, Perfectlight Technology has been working side by side with global researchers for nine consecutive years. With the long-term trust of our users, Perfectlight products have been widely applied in frontier fields such as photochemistry, catalysis, energy, and materials, and have appeared in more than 9,500 high-level academic publications.
To date, the total amount of paper rewards distributed by the company has exceeded RMB 1,000,000. Perfectlight has always remained committed to supporting scientific innovation and research output through concrete actions.
This trust has also extended to Perfectlight’s new-generation systems. Over the past year, from the PLR-RT series catalytic reaction evaluation systems and the PLR-RP series photothermal catalytic reaction evaluation systems to the μGAS1000 micro-gas reaction evaluation system, multiple newly launched Perfectlight instruments have been deeply involved in high-level research projects. With their outstanding performance, these systems are becoming powerful tools for universities and research institutes to overcome experimental challenges and obtain high-quality data.
To express our sincere appreciation for the trust and support of the scientific community, Perfectlight will continue the Paper Reward Program in 2026, with a total reward fund of RMB 100,000.
