Panalytical's Parent Company Spectris Acquires Claisse
Spectris (Surrey, UK) - the parent company of PANalytical - has acquired the business and assets of the Canadian company La Corporation Scientifique Claisse Inc., a provider of sample preparation products for atomic spectroscopy (including X-ray) analysis.
Spectris (Surrey, UK) — the parent company of PANalytical — has acquired the business and assets of the Canadian company La Corporation Scientifique Claisse Inc., a provider of sample preparation products for atomic spectroscopy (including X-ray) analysis.
Claisse designs, manufactures, and sells consumables and instruments used to prepare samples for spectroscopic analysis in mining, pharmaceutical, academic research, and industrial applications. As a result of the acquisition, Claisse will become part of the materials analysis segment of Spectris and will be integrated into PANalytical (Almelo, Netherlands).
PANalytical employs more than 1000 people worldwide. Application laboratories are located in Japan, China, the US, Brazil, and the Netherlands. PANalytical’s research activities are based in Almelo, the Netherlands, and on the campus of the University of Sussex in Brighton (UK). Supply and competence centers are located on two sites in the Netherlands – Almelo (development and production of X-ray instruments) and Eindhoven (development and production of X-ray tubes) — as well as in Nottingham, UK (development of XRF applications and standards) and in Boulder, Colorado (development and production of near-infrared instruments).
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.
