Although there have been some marginally portable near infrared (NIR) spectrometers available for a number of years, the market has recently taken off. This is due to the rise of more effective handheld NIR instruments. While the primary applications for portable and handheld NIR instruments are in the polymers and plastics industry, there is growing […]
Company Announcements AMS and Westco Scientific Instruments acquired Unity Scientific, an NIR solutions provider, in fall 2008. Doug Evans remains president of Unity Scientific. Guided Wave acquired Aspectris, a supplier of encoded photometric IR and NIR systems to OEM customers and for selected target applications, in fall 2008. A2 Technologies licensed Boeing’s patents for the […]
Portability has long been touted as a powerful capability of molecular spectroscopy systems, and in the last couple of years portable molecular spectroscopy has gained momentum, especially with the introduction of portable Raman systems. In fact, a number of new products have recently been introduced to the market (see IBO 3/15/08). Among the advantages of […]
Growth in the overall molecular spectroscopy market is expected to edge back only slightly in 2009 to 6.2%, despite the global recession. With the exception of color analysis and ellipsometry, the majority of demand for most other molecular spectroscopy techniques is significantly related to the few industries that have been largely insulated from the current […]
Company Announcements Ahura Scientific announced three new distributors: Nucletron Technologies GmbH for Germany and Austria, HazmatLINK for the UK and Benelux, and RMI for the Czech and Slovak Republics. T-Ray Science exclusively licensed MIT’s technology for dual-mode, pulsed and continuous TeraHertz waves. Product Introductions X-Rite launched the xDNA system with the M98 handheld spectrophotometer for […]
The combination of infrared (IR) spectroscopy with optical microscopy is not a particularly novel concept. However, technological advances have significantly advanced this subset of IR spectroscopy into a more widely applicable analytical technique. The pairing of IR spectrometers with optical microscopes is a technique that has been used for the better part of two decades […]
Company Announcements Bruker’s Advanced Supercon subsidiary hired Thomas M. Rosa, previously CFO at American Superconductor Corporation, as CFO in April. He will also lead newly established business development and customer support operations in the US. Cambridge Isotope Laboratories formed Membrane Receptor Technologies, a collaborative venture with NMR specialist Dr. Stanley Opella, which will provide atomic […]
