Andor Technology strengthens its Spectroscopy Solutions portfolio

Belfast 13 July 2010 – Andor Technology plc (Andor), a world leader in scientific imaging and modular spectroscopy solutions, announce the launch of its latest Spectroscopy Solutions Portfolio. Andor’s comprehensive offer now includes Microspectroscopy and scanning monochromator accessories, and complements Andor’s extensive range of high-end CCD, InGaAs, ICCD and EMCCD cameras, as well as Czerny-Turner and echelle spectrographs.

Andor’s new additions to its Spectroscopy Solutions Portfolio include a number of purposely designed, yet versatile accessories and interfaces for Microspectroscopy. The wide-aperture slit allows a combination of sample imaging as well as structural and chemical analysis through a single spectrograph & single detector setup, while interfaces to the ever-popular modular cage systems, allowing maximum user setup flexibility.

Monochromator accessories are also included in the Portfolio and feature a comprehensive range of single point detectors, comprising PMTs, Silicon Photodiode, PbS and MCT for sensitivity up to 12µm.

In addition to a new 64 page Spectroscopy brochure, a new spectrograph resolution calculator is available on the Andor website for intuitive spectrograph configuration selection, along with a comprehensive range of application and technical notes.

Andrew Dennis, Director of Product Management at Andor, said “The solutions Andor can offer provide researchers with better access to a great breadth of options for building highly sensitive detection set-ups to meet their exact requirements. Importantly, researchers won’t have to compromise on configurations evolution. This portfolio confirms that Andor will be the first port of call for any type of Spectroscopy requirement.”
