What's Derek Doing? - Part II.
You can’t teach enthusiasm – and you can’t fake it, either. So when our colleague Derek Guenther excitedly suggested a series of new Spectroscopy Kits, we knew this was going to be rad. The kits are expertly designed for various experiments. Tailored to user expertise and objectives, these kits cover diverse sample states and applications.
Dive Deep into Semiconductor, Biofluid, Pharma, and Diagnostics
Pharmaceutical Tank Cleanliness
Utilizing absorbance spectroscopy to measure concentration levels of active pharmaceutical ingredients before and after Cleaning-in-Place processes.
Semiconductor Assembly
Using modular Raman spectroscopy to monitor and optimize UV-cured epoxies applied during die-attach processes in semiconductor assembly.
Emission Peaks in Plasma Systems
Using a compact spectrometer to monitor emission peaks in plasmas used for deposition and etching.
There’s a critical bridge between creativity and science. And that connection really feeds into the idea of discovering what can be done that was not done before.
