The acquisition adds RedWave's FTIR spectroscopic analyzers to 908 Devices' point-of-need chemical analysis platform.

As international quality standards become increasingly demanding, you need to be confident in your QC analysis results – whether you are using an XRF, LIBS or OES analyzer. Without an accurate error margin, you simply cannot be sure that your parts meet specifications.

In the quality assurance/quality control industry, optical emission spectroscopy (OES) plays a key role in material testing. The uses of OES cover a large scope of applications, but it is generally used for material identification and composition certification to industry specifications.

Earlier this year, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced it’s working on new rules to decrease NOx and other pollutants present in vehicle emissions.

The advantages of a 2-methods-in-1 materials analysis solution combining optical microscopy and laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for simultaneous visual and chemical inspection are described. 

Manufacturers focus on reducing their operating costs, but cannot afford buying more productive machinery.

Laser Components USA introduces the IR WORKshop to the US with 40 paper presentations and more than 20 research poster presentations.
