Witec, Germany, announces that it has won The Analytical Scientist Innovation Award as one of the most inventive scientific products of 2019 for Particle Scout, a software tool that enables researchers to find, classify, quantify, and identify particles with unprecedented speed and ease of use. It provides a greatly accelerated workflow while making full use of confocal Raman microscopy’s capabilities for label-free and nondestructive chemical characterization.
The Analytical Scientist is a print and online journal that covers the latest developments in measurement science. The goal of the TASIAs, which are determined by a panel of experts, is “To highlight the latest and greatest technology, instrumentation, and software making waves throughout the analytical science community.”
ParticleScout can survey, classify, analyze, quantify and identify particles over even large sample areas. It enables measurements that proceed from a sample overview, to targeted investigations of particles in groups defined by the user, through a precise chemical characterization of individual particles. The results of the measurement are then presented in a report that provides a comprehensive description of the sample. ParticleScout leverages the speed, sensitivity, and resolution of WITec’s Raman imaging microscopes to ensure quick and seamless particle analysis.
This is the second time that WITec has been among the winners of the award, having been previously honored for RISE (Raman Imaging and Scanning Electron) Microscopy.
