Strengthening its lamps for optics and analytics division, and at the same time complementing the technologies of its UK subsidiary
Heraeus Noblelight, through its UK subsidiary, has taken over UK company Cathodeon, based in Cambridge.
Through this acquisition, Heraeus Noblelight makes a point of strengthening its lamps for optics and analytics division, and at the same time complements the technologies of its UK subsidiary.
Cathodeon manufactures specialty light sources for UV spectroscopy, HPLC (high pressure liquid chromatography), atom absorption spectroscopy and other analytical measuring methods.
It has a global sales network. Today, the different analytical measuring processes that are based on the absorption of light in liquids and gases are part of the standard equipment of laboratories in chemistry, pharmaceutics, medicine and environmental analytics.
The high precision and resolution of the measuring processes require the highest technical standard as well as extreme reliability and quality of the specialty light sources in the ultraviolet, visible and infrared spectrum.
Heraeus Noblelight continues to expand its major position in this market through the purchase. "With this acquisition, we are able to significantly broaden our offering in the area of analytical measurement processes," said Rainer Kuchler, managing director of Heraeus Noblelight "Hollow cathode lamps and glass lamps complement our own quartz lamp technology in an ideal way. "On top of that, we can realise significant technological synergies in the planned close cooperation with our UK subsidiary, which specialises in laser lamps".
Heraeus Noblelight has its headquarters in Hanau, Germany, and subsidiaries in the USA, UK, and China.
The organisation develops, manufactures and markets infrared and ultraviolet emitters for applications in research, technology, production, analytical laboratories, medicine and environmental protection.
