Nipro Corporation (Osaka, Japan) has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Infraredx, Inc. (Burlington, Massachusetts).
Nipro Corporation (Osaka, Japan) has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Infraredx, Inc. (Burlington, Massachusetts). Nipro Corporation has broad holdings in pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Infraredx is an intravascular imaging company working to advance the diagnosis and management of coronary artery disease globally.
The agreement combines Nipro’s global cardiovascular portfolio with Infraredx’s industry expertise in near infrared spectroscopy and intravascular ultrasound. The agreement will help introduce Nipro’s cardiovascular product line into the United States, and continue Infraredx’s mission to provide cardiologists with advanced imaging tools designed to predict heart attacks and prevent them.
“We are pleased to combine our strengths to meet the demands of the marketplace and continue to deliver to the medical community cardiovascular imaging systems that hold the potential to revolutionize the management of cardiovascular disease,” Jason Bottiglieri, president and CEO of Infraredx, said in a statement.
The acquisition, which is subject to certain conditions, is expected to close in October 2015.
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.
Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy Reveals Influence of Defects on 2D Semiconductor Devices
April 25th 2024A recent study used deep level transient spectroscopy to investigate the electrical response of defect filling and emission in monolayer metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD)-grown materials deposited on complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible substrates.
Single Cell and Microplastic Analysis by ICP-MS with Automated Micro-Flow Sample Introduction
April 25th 2024Single cell ICP-MS (scICP-MS) is increasingly seen as a powerful and fast tool for the measurement of elements in individual cells, mainly due to the high sensitivity and selectivity of ICP-MS. Analysis is performed in the same way as single nanoparticle (spICP-MS) analysis, which has become a well-established technique for the analysis of nanoparticles and particles.
