AEMAS Cerawave Inductively coupled nitrogen plasma

Radom Corporation developed the solution for laboratory and on-site element analysis with the “Microwave Inductively Coupled Atmospheric Plasma – Optical Emission Spectrometer” (MICAP-OES 1000) with a power of 1000W. This innovative nitrogen-based plasma spectrometer replaces traditional argon-generated plasma technology.

The MICAP-OES 1000 uses the new and highly efficient patented Cerawave technology, a ceramic ring in which an induction current is generated by a microwave to generate the plasma. No cooling required!

The power of Cerawave technology, combined with a high-resolution Echelle polychromator with CMOS detector, provides simultaneous measurement of elements in a wide range of different sample types.

Thanks to the small footprint (lxwxh 66.6 x 68.0 x 60.7 cm) and the very low weight (31 kg), transport is easy.

The Cerawave technology offers major advantages with regard to the environment: plasma uses nitrogen, which can be produced much more energy-efficiently compared to argon.
Nitrogen can even be generated on site using a nitrogen generator, which makes transport costs unnecessary.

Delta Life Science – Nanophotonic Evanescent field Sensing (NES) technology

Founded in 2018 as a spin-off from TNO (The Netherlands Organization for applied scientific research), Delta is based at the heart of innovation in the Rotterdam Science Tower. Our mission is to make multiplexed, label-free biosensing accessible to all. In June 2024, we have launched our first instrument using photonic integrated circuits (PICs) for rapid, high sensitivity detection. These circuits, similar to silicon computer chips, use light instead of electricity. So-called “ring-resonators” allow for multiple sensors on a small surface. This enables real-time quantitative and kinetic analyzes of multiple biomolecules from a single sample, essential for advancing life science research and medical diagnostics.

Our instrument is the perfect tool for a variety of life sciences applications, including immuno-oncology, biophysics, biomarker discovery, and biotherapeutics, empowering researchers to deliver outstanding outcomes in their disciplines.
