In January we had the successful kick-off of our EIT Raw Materials project AUSOM. The AUSOM project aims at bringing automatic sorting technology for metal alloys based on laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) to the market. It will bring a higher quality secondary raw material supply to the European market and meet the identified needs […]

Jan Paternotte, Member of the House of Representatives of the Netherlands, visited SPECTRAL together with a delegation of party members that are interested in innovation. Apart from a laboratory visit, discussions were held on how the Dutch government can improve the innovation of Dutch SME’s.

It was a strong desire from our distributors and customers: an SDK for our IRIS Spectrometer. We are proud to say that the SDK is available now. The SDK allows the user to integrate our IRIS echelle spectrometer into their own software. The SDK comes with example programs that demonstrate how to use the IRIS […]

We are looking for talented people to join our team.   SPECTRAL Industries is a fast-growing high-tech company that develops unique optical sensor systems for non-contact chemical analysis. We apply our robust and sensitive sensors for demanding industrial applications ranging from mining to recycling and material processing. SPECTRAL is now active on 4 continents and […]

SPECTRAL Industries is part of a European consortium of 5 partners, that was awarded the AIDED (Artificial Intelligence for Detection of Explosive Devices) project by EDA (European Defence Agency): AIDED will use a set of state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms able to identify unconventional (IED’s) and conventional (buried mines) explosive devices, and autonomously plan offline and […]

As part of a tour along high-tech companies in Delft, Marja van Bijsterveldt, major of Delft, visited SPECTRAL. After an introduction to the company and our products, we visited our LIBS laboratory to show our hardware and demonstrate our LIBS solutions.

Due to the successful acquisition of a number of business to business development contracts, SPECTRAL is expanding its capabilities and manpower. A few highlights: We tripled our working space. Now we have one laboratory dedicated for accurate LIBS measurements and feasibility studies and one dedicated area for large scale industrial trials. Bob de Waard (MSc […]

IRIS is the first echelle spectrometer without compromises: high resolution, large bandwidth, high throughput, accurate gating, compact and robust. To show the benefits and possibilities of the IRIS echelle spectrometer we have published a white paper. Topics covered (amongst others): its unmatched throughput, UV performance, gating using a low cost CMOS camera and stability. Benchmark […]

  Avaatech and SPECTRAL Industries are happy to announce the start of a project for the integration of a Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) instrument into the well-known Avaatech XRF Core Scanner. Like XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence), LIBS is a well-established analytical technology for chemical analysis. The LIBS-technique uses a laser to create a high temperature […]
