Overview
TechnoSpex is a Singapore-based company that designs and manufactures optical micro-spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy systems. According to its own materials, the company focuses on transforming technical know-how and decades of practical experience in optics, microscopy and spectroscopy into high-performing yet cost-effective optical systems. Its product range is built around micro-spectroscopy systems with mapping capability, positioned as affordable, reliable, versatile, compact, research-grade, sensitive and multimodal. The company's first product line centred on the uRaman-M, a cost-effective and high-sensitivity microRaman module that integrates with major brands of upright microscopes such as Nikon, Leica, Olympus and Carl Zeiss. It is also offered as a complete Raman microspectroscopy system called uRaman-Ci, which couples the uRaman module with a Nikon Ci upright research-grade microscope. Following market feedback and customer requests, TechnoSpex launched a second line, the uSight series, in 2016. The uSight-X offers similar functionality to uRaman with added flexibility and upgradeability for dual lasers and external detectors, while the uSight-2000 offers a patent-pending approach to micron-scale reflectance, transmittance and absorbance measurement with sub-micron precision. TechnoSpex also provides OEM design and prototyping services around its core competencies in microscopy and spectroscopy. Its stated mission is to provide customers with a range of affordable optical micro-spectroscopy solutions with research-grade performance and reliability, working closely with leading researchers from academia. The company sells through its website and a distributor network, and offers application notes, technical notes, publications and a calculator as resources for customers. Its product catalogue includes portable Raman (pRaman), the uRaman series (uRaman-i, uRaman-Ci, uRaman-M), the uSight series (uSight-FXM, uSight-2100, uSight-2000, uSight-X), accessories such as a cuvette holder, laser safety goggles and a motorized stage, and the uSoft software for system control and data processing.
History
TechnoSpex is a Singapore-based company specialising in microscopy, spectroscopy and photonics. Its stated focus is on transforming technical know-how and decades of practical experience in optics, microscopy and spectroscopy into high-performing yet cost-effective optical systems. The company's product development has centred on micro-spectroscopy systems with mapping capability, which it markets as affordable, reliable, versatile, compact, research-grade, sensitive and multimodal. The company's first product line was built around the uRaman-M, a cost-effective and high-sensitivity microRaman module designed to integrate seamlessly with most major brands of upright microscopes, including Nikon, Leica, Olympus and Carl Zeiss. This module is also available as a complete Raman microspectroscopy system called uRaman-Ci, which couples the uRaman module with a Nikon Ci upright research-grade microscope. The uRaman system was installed at a customer site in early 2016, according to a testimonial on the company's website. Following market feedback and customer requests, TechnoSpex launched its second line of products, the uSight series, in 2016. The uSight-X offers similar functionality to uRaman with added flexibility and upgradeability for dual lasers and external detectors such as those already available in many research labs. The uSight-2000 offers a patent-pending approach to micron-scale reflectance, transmittance and absorbance measurement with sub-micron precision. The uSight-FXM micro-spectroscopy system is noted for its flexibility, able to connect to existing laser and spectrometer setups, and is suitable for Raman, photoluminescence and fluorescence. TechnoSpex also offers OEM design and prototyping services surrounding its core competencies in microscopy and spectroscopy. Its mission is to provide customers with a range of affordable optical micro-spectroscopy solutions with research-grade performance and reliability, working closely with leading researchers from academia. The company sells its products through its website and a distributor network, and provides application notes, technical notes, publications and a calculator as resources. Its current product catalogue includes portable Raman (pRaman), the uRaman series (uRaman-i, uRaman-Ci, uRaman-M), the uSight series (uSight-FXM, uSight-2100, uSight-2000, uSight-X), accessories such as a cuvette holder, laser safety goggles and a motorized stage, and the uSoft software for system control and data processing.
