Company Announcements Coherent entered into an exclusive agreement with PhaseTech Spectroscopy to offer the 2DQuick, a complete solution for 2D IR spectroscopy for investigating molecular dynamics. Following ASD’s acquisition by Spectris (see IBO 11/30/12), Bob Faus, vice president of engineering, was named vice president and general manager, NIR, and Michael Lands, vice president of sales […]
Portable and handheld NIR have rapidly developed into a major analytical instrument market alongside other portable spectroscopy techniques, all of which have benefited from similar technological improvements. The portable NIR market has transitioned into a much more mature market in recent years with the acquisition of smaller start-ups that pioneered the market by major diversified […]
Product Introductions In March, Bruker expanded its NMR CryoProbe Prodigy TCI product line to include products for 500 MHz and 700 MHz systems. Bruker released a Chemometrics Module for raw materials screening using its Assure-RMS NMR software solution. Bruker introduced the CMC 2.0 workflow and spectral interpretation software suite, featuring improved integration of automated acquisition, […]
Demand for laboratory and portable IR and NIR spectroscopy systems for the analysis of fuels and oils has become an important part of the molecular spectroscopy market. The market consists of both general purpose IR and NIR systems, as well as dedicated fuel and oil analyzers based on these techniques. A number of factors will […]
Atomic Spectroscopy Bruker’s N8 Horizon instrument was introduced in November 2012. The N8 has a brilliant microspot source with a 0.5 mm spot size, and a sample holder that can be configured for small-angle and grazing incidence XRD. The standard Vantec area detector can also be augmented by an optional linear detector to provide wide-angle […]
Atomic Spectroscopy Bruker debuted the Aurora Elite inductively coupled plasma (ICP)–MS, a high-performance sibling to its existing Aurora M90. The improved ion optics and fast electronics increase the sensitivity of the system, and Bruker considers it the most sensitive single quadrupole ICP-MS on the market. The base price is $178,000, though a complete system with […]
Company Announcements ChemImage named IVG a distributor of its HSI Examiner products in Mexico. In January, Avantes announced a partnership with Tornado Spectral Systems for the design, manufacture and distribution of a new line of high-performance spectrometers based on Tornado’s High Throughput Virtual Slit technology. X-Rite, a Danaher company, named Ron Voigt president, effective March […]
At the far end of the IR spectrum lies a previously little-used segment of the electromagnetic spectrum known as the terahertz region. The use of the terahertz region for spectroscopy offers advantages but faced technological limitations until recently. Numerous vendors have entered the market in the past several years. An incredibly diverse range of potential […]
Following a slight decline in demand in 2012, sales of molecular spectroscopy instruments should grow once again in 2013, though still be fairly weak. Most segments of the market are expected to experience fairly flat demand this year, with the strongest sales growth of any one technology segment not expected to break 5%. Weakness in […]
Company Announcements Picarro secured a $7 million round of Series D equity financing in July, led by Focus Ventures and joined by DAG Ventures, NTT Electronics and Mingxin China Growth Fund. In October, Ocean Optics named COO Richard Pollard president. Block Engineering named Griot Group as a US sales representative for the Pacific Northwest, the […]
