TSI Acquires Raman Firm
Historically, TSI has focused on measurement solutions for aerosols, air flow and environmental monitoring. With its acquisition of Photon Machines (see IBO 5/31/12), the company moved into chemical analysis instrumentation. The latest acquisition continues this expansion.
Shoreview, MN 2/15/14—Measurement solutions firm TSI has acquired Enwave Optronics’ business assets and Raman spectroscopy technology for an undisclosed sum. Enwave provides handheld, portable, benchtop and process control systems. “Raman technology expends our chemical characterization business so that now we can address molecular-based as well as elemental-based material analysis,” stated TSI President Tom Kennedy. TSI’s ChemLogix chemical analysis solutions include the ChemReveal LIBS (laser induced breakdown spectroscopy) Desktop Analyzer.
