TSI Acquires Enwave Optronics
TSI (Shoreview, Minnesota) has acquired the business assets and Raman spectroscopy technology of Enwave Optronics, Inc. (Irvine, California).
TSI (Shoreview, Minnesota) has acquired the business assets and Raman spectroscopy technology of Enwave Optronics, Inc. (Irvine, California).
Enwave has developed and commercialized a portfolio of precision Raman instruments over its 10-year history. The company provides laboratory-grade measurements to a product line that includes handheld, portable, bench top, and installed process control instruments. The Enwave acquisition expands TSI’s ChemLogix family of chemical analysis solutions.
The purchase of the Raman spectroscopy technology from Enwave follows the acquisition of the laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy technology for elemental analysis of solid materials from PhotonMachines, Inc. in 2012.
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.
