Atomic Spectroscopy Bruker AXS launched the D8 DISCOVER X-ray diffractometer. The D8 DISCOVER further increases ease of use with real-time component detection, plug-and-play functionality and fully integrated two-dimensional X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) capabilities. These capabilities allow the user to switch between all materials research XRD applications, including reflectometry, high-resolution diffraction, grazing incidence diffraction and small angle […]
Atomic Spectroscopy Bruker introduced the Q2 ION at its Pittcon press conference. The Q2 ION is a compact benchtop arc-spark spectrometer. It is a cost-effective complement to handheld XRF for metals analysis at smaller foundries and recycling centers. The system is now available at a price of roughly $35,000. Following the success of its Terra […]
Company Announcements Malvern Instruments and Kaiser Optical Systems entered into a development collaboration agreement to integrate their respective Morphologi platform and RamanRxn System analyzers. Kaiser will also distribute an exclusive version of Malvern’s ISys software and a new system control platform software for its Raman Microprobe and Raman WorkStation range. Malvern Instruments announced it will […]
Instruments for materials characterization utilize a diverse range of individual techniques to explore the material properties of the sample, as opposed to chemical or optical properties. With the exception of calorimetry, sales in all of the individual markets declined in 2009, with the total market dipping below $2 billion. Fortunately, the forecast for 2010 is […]
Company Announcements MTS Systems reported that sales for SANS Group (see IBO 5/31/08) for the first half of fiscal 2009 ended March 29 were $8.0 million and that the subsidiary had an operating loss of $3.5 million. Orders totaled $12.0 million. MTS Systems named Gail P. Steinel to its Board in October. She is former […]
Simultaneous Thermal Analysis (STA) is a combination of two related techniques that measure thermal properties. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) are among the most commonly used thermal analysis techniques. They can be used in concert with STA to provide more information about samples than either one could provide alone. In DSC, the […]
Company Announcements Micromeritics announced in March the acquisition of TA Instruments’ high-pressure volumetric analyzer product line, which TA acquired when it bought VTI. Setaram announced a distribution agreement for ACL Instruments’ range of chemiluminescence analysis systems for the study of oxidative effects for aging, stability and the high-precision calculation of shelf life. Following the default […]
Company Announcements Setaram agreed to distribute HEL’s range of adiabatic calorimeters. Anton Paar GmbH opened an Indian subsidiary in Delhi, in January and a Japanese subsidiary in Tokyo in February, bringing its total number of subsidiaries to 12. The company posted sales of €108 million ($148 million) in 2007 and its rheometry orders rose 14% […]
Materials characterization instruments primarily analyze the physical properties of samples, including temperature, thermal response, force, hardness, particle size and viscosity, among others. In many cases, the instruments measure the response of one characteristic when another is varied. The information derived from these instruments provide direct insight into the physical behavior of the sample, and this […]
Company Announcements Zwick Roell named Instrumatic A/S as a sales partner for Denmark. NanoSight opened an office in the Western Region of the US in August. Malvern Instruments and Aimil, the company’s distribution partner in India, formed a joint venture in May. In October, MTS Systems elected President and CEO Laura B. Hamilton chair of […]
