The Colorado Photonics Industry Association (CPIA) announced that is has named ASD, Inc. (formerly Analytical Spectral Devices) of Boulder as the 2008 Colorado Photonics Company of the Year. The award will be presented at the CPIA Annual Meeting on Wednesday, November 19, 2008, in UMC 235 of CU-Bolder from 3 to 6 pm, and the ceremony is open and free to the public.
The Photonics Company of the Year award goes to a company or institution that has contributed the most to the Colorado photonics industry recently. This year's winner, ASD, Inc., was founded in Boulder in 1990 to manufacture spectrometers. In just the past year, they have been named to the Boulder County Business Report's Mercury 100 for fastest growing companies, named one of Colorado's Technology Fast 50 companies by Deloitte and Touche, listed in Inc. Magazine's Inc. 5000 List, and awarded the Colorado Governor's Award for Excellence in Exporting.
Getting accurate IR spectra on monolayer of molecules
April 18th 2024Creating uniform and repeatable monolayers is incredibly important for both scientific pursuits as well as the manufacturing of products in semiconductor, biotechnology, and. other industries. However, measuring monolayers and functionalized surfaces directly is. difficult, and many rely on a variety of characterization techniques that when used together can provide some degree of confidence. By combining non-contact atomic force microscopy (AFM) and IR spectroscopy, IR PiFM provides sensitive and accurate analysis of sub-monolayer of molecules without the concern of tip-sample cross contamination. Dr. Sung Park, Molecular Vista, joined Spectroscopy to provide insights on how IR PiFM can acquire IR signature of monolayer films due to its unique implementation.
