First Sale in Russia for TeraView
09 December 2011 – TeraView (http://www.teraview.com/), the pioneer and leader in Terahertz technology, along with its distributor in the region, Bruker Optics (www.bruker.com), has just delivered and installed its first instrument in the Russian Federation at the Russian Academy of Sciences, Institute of Cell biology (ICB RAS).
ICB was formed in 1990 under the prestigious umbrella of the Russian Academy of Sciences and performs studies in to the biophysics of cell function. The terahertz instrument will perform research intermolecular interactions and hydrogen bonding in cells structures in vitro.
The sale adds to TeraView’s growing installed base worldwide, and helps strengthen its position into an expanding research market in Russia.
Dr Don Arnone, TeraView’s CEO stated ‘Yet another sale of the TPS spectra 3000 adds to the growing list of prestigious academic institutes choosing our equipment and is an important first sale into the Russian academic market. We are hopeful it will lead to more users in the region”.
About Terahertz
Terahertz waves sit in the spectrum between Infrared and Microwave and as such have unique properties which enables them to pass through/into objects, and whilst so doing to transmit images and spectra which provide unique information in a safe, fast and non destructive manner.
About TeraView (www.teraview.com)
TeraView is the world’s first company devoted to the application of Terahertz light for imaging and spectroscopy. TeraView’s proprietary platform uses the Terahertz spectrum between light and radio waves and offers the advantage of being non-invasive and non-destructive. Past studies have demonstrated how Terahertz uniquely and non invasively provides 3 dimensional structural and chemical information in a diverse range of applications, including semiconductors and solar cells, weapons/explosives hidden below clothing, the contents of tablets and capsules in the pharmaceutical industry, and other objects normally invisible to conventional detection techniques. Other markets for the technology exist in medical imaging of cancer, physics, biology, chemistry research and industrial inspection. Headquartered in Cambridge, UK, TeraView was spun-out of the Toshiba Cambridge Research Laboratory and Cambridge University in April 2001. Sales and support are available throughout Europe, North America and the Far East either directly or through a network of distributors.
