Our core markets are addressed from the suppliers that have been with us from our incorporation date in June of 1996. These include the markets addressed by products from ORTEC® (at that time EG&G ORTEC, now Ametek ORTEC), Eberline Instruments and their sister company ESM Eberline, (now Thermo Scientific Radiation Measurement and Protection Group), and Ocean Optics, one of the most exciting companies in today's high growth optical field. Since then we have partnered with additional companies with products that complement and expand our capabilities in these and related fields.

Materials Characterisation

Products to analyze electrochemical behaviour, surface potential, surface profilometry, thin film measurements, optical spectroscopy, spectrophotometry, RAMAN and photoluminescence spectroscopy, low light imaging, bioassay instrumentation and others. Our markets here include the materials scientist and engineer, the analytical chemist, chemical technologist, biophysicist, microscopist, QA personnel, and those looking for online solutions.

Nuclear Analysis and Radiation Measurements

Our customer list in this category includes most accounts in Canada that have radioactive materials, that may be working in environmental studies or are service providers and, each of the research accelerator and power plant facilities in the country. These products can be as simple as a handheld Geiger counter to sophisticated Digital Gamma-Ray Spectrometers used as stack monitors or as whole body counters. This market represents our single largest business segment anchored by our two largest partners, Thermo Scientific and Ametek ORTEC.

Optical Instrumentation and Components, Signal Recovery Instruments

Products that create and move light; that measure and analyze light; and products for signal detection of a wide variety of signals whether steady state or time resolved. This is a diverse market place with both a wide range and a vertical market for all products. All of our scientific and medical research markets find a use for these products. With a growing cross over with the materials scientist, this is our most dynamic and fastest growing business segment. We are proud to be partnered with Andor Technology and Ocean Optics as key suppliers in this market segment. We have several other key partnerships in this field allowing us to address many optical detection applications with cost effective and production solutions.
