Aspectrics has begun shipping the first exapmples of its encoded photometric infrared spectroscopy (EP-IR) analysers to OEM instrument vendors and a top five global chemical company
Aspectrics, a supplier of encoded photometric infrared spectroscopy (EP-IR) analysers, says it has begun shipping initial orders of its EP-IR production units to several OEM instrument vendors and one of the top five global chemical companies.
"We are pleased that we are now shipping the first orders for our EP-IR technology to our customers," said Paul Salsgiver, CEO of Aspectrics.
"While the details of individual clients and their particular agreements remain confidential, the shipments represent the first of what could potentially be substantial future orders for dozens of EP-IR units.
"The chemical company for example, is evaluating the unit as an online process monitor to eventually replace eighty FT-IR process monitors".
Applications under development by Aspectrics's OEM customers include ambient air and stack gas monitoring, engine emission analysis, foods and semiconductor processes.
At the heart of the EP-IR analyser is a rotating disc onto which up to 256 concentric encoding tracks is formed.
The encoding tracks enable very accurate intensity measurements and are sensitive enough to replace conventional detector arrays such as NDIR and FTIR currently used in many process control monitoring instruments.
Founded in 2000 and based in Pleasanton, California, Aspectrics supplies encoded photometric infrared spectroscopy (EP-IR) analysers to OEMs supplying detector instrumentation to chemical, pharmaceutical, biomedical, and automotive markets.
Aspectrics holds four US patents for its encoding disc technology and associated optics.
