Markets Served
Technospex work closely with customers from academics to industries to provide unique solutions to solve their problems which are often covered by non-disclosure agreements.
Major Products/Services
- uRaman-Ci is a complete Raman micro-spectroscopy system. The system encompasses a Raman spectroscopy module integrated with Nikon-Ci series research-grade microscope. Options of 532 nm, 633 nm, or 785 nm with cooled or uncooled detectors are available. The system is easily upgradable with Raman mapping function by adding a motorized XY stage. The uRaman system offers multimodality imaging capabilities such as Raman spectroscopy and fluorescence, DIC and polarization. This provides additional dimension of information.
- uSight-X is similar to uRaman-Ci in terms of in-built laser options and optics within the modules. It however differs by giving users the flexibility to connect to an external spectrometer of their choice. This caters to the needs of customers who want to purchase a larger research-grade spectrograph or own an existing one.
- uSight-2000 is a micro-spectroscopy system which enable users to carry out UV-VIS-NIR reflectance, absorbance, and transmittance measurement. A spot indicator will illuminate the sample so that user is able to select exact imaging location. The imaging spot can be as small as <1 µm-diameter, dependent on the objective lens used.
Facility

This column shows that a Raman plate reader paired with partial least squares regression can simultaneously quantify glucose, fructose, sucrose, and ethanol in yeast fermentation samples, using turbidity-matched calibration standards to correct for yeast-induced turbidity, and offers a rapid, label-free, high-throughput method for tracking sugar consumption and ethanol production in strain screening, media optimization, and process development.
This column, the second installment on highly substituted benzene rings, shows that tri- and tetra-substituted substitution patterns can be distinguished by whether the ring bending peak is present and by the position of the in-phase aryl C-H wagging peak, which shifts according to how many adjacent hydrogens the ring carries.
