We've recently published a new applications note, X-ray study of a copper-based biocidal film. This work was conducted in collaboration with Dr. Heather Yates at the School of Science, Engineering and Environment, University of Salford, Manchester.
Kratos Analytical Inc has moved it's North American Office to 404 East Route 59, Nanuet, New York,10954, USA. Our telephone and e-mail contact details remain unchanged.
We've just shipped our 200th AXIS Supra generation X-ray photoelectron spectrometer. We're understandably proud of this milestone. The success of the AXIS Supra+ is built on over 50 years of experience in developing surface analysis instruments.
In a recently published article we have spoken to a number of our academic and industrial Users and asked what they use their instrument for. It's not difficult to conclude that XPS is one of the primary analytical tools used for materials characterisation.
The latest version of ESCApe Acquisition and Processing software is now available for systems already running on this software. It is important that ESCApe Users to upgrade to this latest version to benefit from additional software functionality.
We're exhibiting at ECASIA at the end of May. It offers the perfect opportunity for anyone interested in the latest developments from Kratos Analytical to discuss them face-to-face with Sales and Applications specialists. We're also presenting HAXPES Applications and Composition Analyses of Surface and Sub-Surface Interfaces - our latest work from our applications lab.
It is with great sadness that we have learned of the death of Dr Martin Seah MBE in early June. Martin's career directly contributed to the success of the Kratos' surface analysis business group, establishing XPS as the primary technique for chemical surface characterisation. Whilst we mourn the loss, we also celebrate the significant contributions that Martin made to the advancement of XPS, AES and the surface analysis community.
Thank you to our German Users who contributed to a successful meeting at the end of May. It was good to learn of the work both our established and newest Users are producing using Kratos AXIS instruments. It’s always fascinating to learn of the breadth research undertaken, from soil analysis to metrology standards.
The 2020 Users' Meetings moved online and were held between 21st - 24th September. The new format allowed many more Users to attend the meeting with over 150 Users registered for the European & Asia meeting and 70 registered for the North American Meeting. The meetings were a mix of User and Kratos presentations with plenty of opportunity for Q&As, discussion and networking. Recordings of the presentations are now available in the Members Area to watch again.
