HORIBA Partners with Covalent Metrology for Demo Lab
PISCATAWAY, N.J., Sept. 22, 2021 — HORIBA Scientific, a producer spectroscopy systems and solutions, has partnered with Covalent Metrology, a provider of analytical services, to expand access to chemical analysis and expertise. The companies have established the HORIBA Scientific North American Demonstration Lab at Covalent’s Silicon Valley headquarters.
The showroom is HORIBA’s first demonstration lab with a partner in North America and joins its application/demo labs in its corporate offices. The lab will showcase HORIBA’s spectroscopy solutions and bolster mutual efforts to develop methods for new chemical analysis applications.
The inaugural instrument installed in the HORIBA showroom is the HORIBA GD-Profiler 2 system for glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy (GDOES). The tool is designed for high-speed quantitative analysis of elements of interest, including nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, and chlorine. The instrument is well suited for thin- and thick-film characterization and process studies.
In addition to applications development, the demonstration lab will position both companies to accelerate research and development work in the semiconductor, electronics, and advanced materials industries throughout North America.
