PANalytical Expansion and Relocation

PANalytical (Eindhoven, The Netherlands), a supplier of analytical X-ray instrumentation, services, and software, has relocated its X-ray tube manufacturing to a new factory in Eindhoven, The Netherlands.

PANalytical (Eindhoven, The Netherlands), a supplier of analytical X-ray instrumentation, services, and software, has relocated its X-ray tube manufacturing to a new factory in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. The company is the only supplier of analytical X-ray systems that also develops and produces its own X-ray tubes, which are an essential part of the instrumentation.

Having outgrown its existing facilities in Eindhoven, PANalytical began production on August 8, 2011 at the new factory using state-of-the-art technology to enhance the production of X-ray tubes and the quality and performance if its X-ray instruments and solutions.

The bulky bench-top NIR spectrometer is quietly being dismantled and rebuilt as a wafer-scale photonic chip, a self-calibrating algorithm, and a sensor small enough to ride in a shirt pocket. What once demanded a grating, a moving mirror, and a climate-controlled lab now fits inside a handheld module, a bioreactor probe, or a drone payload, and it increasingly figures out what it is looking at on its own.
Sizing Up the Nanoscale: Measuring Nanocluster Aerosol in Indoor Air
In the first part of a multi-part Q&A, Brandon Boor, the Dr. Margery E. Hoffman Associate Professor in the Lyles School of Civil and Construction Engineering at Purdue University, describes the instrumentation and methodology behind measuring nanoparticle size distributions at the nanocluster scale (1–3 nm) and outlines the technical challenges of acquiring reliable, real-time data at these dimensions.
