What press/people have to say…

Fraunhofer Centre for Applied Photonics has been engaged with IS-Instruments for five years, both as a customer and as a partner on a range of collaborative innovation projects. We are, therefore, somewhat uniquely placed in that we have experience using ISI in our supply chain and working closely in scientific development. On both counts, we have found our engagement with… Read more “Testimonial – Dr David Stothard”

Dr David Stothard

Amentum (previously Jacobs), first approached IS Instruments in 2017 when it was recognised that great advances were being made in the field of laser sensing and, in particular, Raman spectroscopy. Through our extensive knowledge of the various challenges within the nuclear industry, along with IS Instruments’ expertise in laser-based sensing technologies, they identified several applications for Raman spectroscopy to make… Read more “Testimonial – Dr Mike Wharton”

IS-Instruments Spectrometers

Our spectrometers use an optical fibre rather than a slit to allow the laser to reach its target. The benefit of this is less light ‘wasted’, allowing our spectrometers to have a higher throughput/etendue than traditional instruments.

We have developed a deep-UV instrument, Odin, for which our base technology lends itself well, using a self-aligning diode laser that eliminates the need for air purging.

We’ve also developed an instrument that uses a patented hollow-core microfibre to perform gas Raman measurements, detecting multiple gas species on-site.

Some of the industries we work with:

  • Nuclear / Nuclear Decommissioning
  • High-value Manufacturing & Process Industries
  • Pharmaceutical
  • Biopharmaceutical
  • Oil & Gas
