Raman spectroscopy is long established as a non-destructive chemical analysis technique capable of providing detailed compositional information. The technique is also capable of distinguishing between allotropes of the same material. Whilst Raman is useful for measuring solids and liquids, the weak Raman scattering effect makes analysis of gases more challenging due to the diffuse nature […]

Measuring the molecular and chemical composition of biological samples has remained challenging yet advances in medical treatments rely largely on the ability to detect and identify molecular signatures of disease, as well as developing therapeutics to target specific illnesses within individuals. Biologic samples are, by their nature, fragile, making them susceptible to damage from long […]

ODIN is our deep UV resonant Raman spectrometer and continued testing shows it is consistently delivering a game-changing performance when it comes to measuring biopharma products. Not only is the unit compact and easy to use while depositing high laser energies at the target, but the system has an additional advantage when it comes to […]

For the last four years, with partners, IS-Instruments Ltd has had the ambition to produce a compact easy to use Deep UV resonant Raman spectrometer with the power to observe organic substances such as protein and enzyme, while providing a fluorescent-free measurement for all samples.  Today, we can announce our first observations from ODIN, [...] […]

The nuclear sector has a very real need for the capability of identifying potentially hazardous substances accurately and from distance to limit exposure and hazard to human operators. IS-Instruments has been working in the nuclear decommissioning sector since 2018 when it partnered with i3D robotics to developed Callisto, a system combining advancing stereo camera technology […]

ISI has won funding to produce a fluorescent imaging device that could provide a solution to dwindling stocks of PPE by determining contamination levels on used equipment and wearables after they have been through simple cleaning processes. This will enable the PPE and equipment to be assessed to determine how often PPE needs replacing, [...] […]

When the lockdown was announced, the way we worked had to change. As an organisation, IS-Instruments has always worked collaboratively, however, generally, we’ve all been in the same vicinity, sharing offices and laboratories for our own projects as well as facilitating the cross-over of a number of our projects with those of i3D robotics. File Sharing […]
