Bruker Acquires Scientific Software Provider Arxspan
Bruker Corporation (Billerica, Massachusetts) has acquired Arxspan LLC, a provider of cloud-based scientific software and workflow solutions based in Southborough, Massachusetts.
Bruker Corporation (Billerica, Massachusetts) has acquired Arxspan LLC, a provider of cloud-based scientific software and workflow solutions based in Southborough, Massachusetts. Arxspan, which sells cloud-based products for the management of research data under the Arxlab brand, focuses on serving pharmaceutical and biopharma customers.
With the acquisition, Bruker can now provide a range of software tools for customers in the chemistry, pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, and analytical laboratory markets. Together with the Mestrelab strategic partnership and majority investment, the acquisition of Arxspan will allow Bruker to offer new chemistry and biopharmaceutical software tools support drug discovery and development.
“The Arxspan acquisition, coupled with our strategic partnership with Mestrelab, positions Bruker firmly in the field of cloud-based, scientific software for our chemistry and pharma customers,” said Falko Busse, group president for Bruker Biospin. “Our new software solutions enable our biopharma customers to increase their productivity in drug discovery and development.”
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.
