We develop rugged, flight-qualifiable instrumentation for use on Earth and beyond. Contact us for more information.
We have developed miniaturized, rugged high-performance DUV microscopes. Shown above is the LIfE microscope offering four excitation wavelength from the DUV through VIS with up to six independent emission channels and brightfield capability all in a small packaged designed to meet NASA GEVS shock/vib/thermal and up to 300 krad (not including COTS camera). Our own custom rad-hard 50x/NA0.5 objective offers flat-field imaging from 255nm through 680nm.
We've developed rugged, high-performance hyperspectral SWIR microscopes that fit into a drill string or borehole logger for the characterization of minerals and materials with resolutions down to 12µm. Shown here is the NASA-funded OptiDrill developed in partnership wtih Honeybee Robotics (a subsidiary of Blue Origin).
Our automated sample processor makes the extraction of organics from complex matrices such as soils easy, highly repeatable, and fully automated. Samples are extracted in solvents of choice using ultrasonic assistance. Custom solid phase columns extract, isolate, and concentrate analytes and then deliver them in 200-µL volumes for analysis in the user's choice of instrument. The extraction methods and solvents can be defined in detail by the user.
Specialized components for use in low-power, low-weight, low-size, and extreme environments. Contact us for more information.
Miniaturized filter wheel with special design components that allow it to function in demanding, small size applications. Tested to NASA GEVS-level shock/vibe and 300 krad ionizing radiation. Base 100mm x 100mm
Designed for extended dynamic range of absorption measurements in an all-steel and glass flow cell suitable for a large range of assays. Shown here with custom integrated lock-in detection system including detectors and sources.
Specialized programmable digital delay line for nanosecond to microsecond delays with parts-per-mil precision. Suitable for TCSPC applications with long-lived fluorophores or other applications.
Electronics board for driving electro-actuated microfluidic valves such as those sold by The Lee Company
Custom-designed all-metal fluidic manifolds for handling all manners of solvents and samples. Shown here with integrated valve breakout board compatible with our valve drivers and multi port valves.
