Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and Specialist Product capabilities

Andor Technology is dedicated to providing commercial organizations and OEMs with innovative, advanced and versatile CCD, EMCCD and ICCD detectors and spectrographs.

With years of academic and industrial experience, Andor's OEM experts specialize in the creation of complete system solutions, from tailored collection optics and spectrographs to software that gives you the levels of control and functionality you require - whether you are creating a brand new analytical device, or incorporating new functionality into an existing configuration.

Andor products form an integral part of our industrial partners instrumentation and has sold cameras and detectors into 9 of the top 20 global industry leaders over the last three years in the areas of Spectroscopic instruments, Life Sciences, Surface Science Instruments and X-Ray.

• Spectroscopic instruments are used for various scientific techniques such as Raman fluorescence, ICP and Arc Spark and applications in areas such as process control, quality control and forensic analysis.
• Life Sciences solutions are used in high throughput screening, genomics, genetic and proteomic analysis.
• Surface science techniques are primarily devoted to the microscopic analysis of material surfaces and are used by the semiconductor and electronics industry as well as the aerospace, metals and polymer industries. Some of the techniques are also being used in the life science applications for examining live cells and tissue samples.
• X-Ray instruments are used in medical imaging applications or industrial testing. X-ray diffraction is a non-destructive technique that probes properties of solids; particularly crystals and powders made of small-scale crystals.

World Class Research and manufacturing Facilities

Andor Belfast Head Office

On 1 November 2004, Andor moved into a new, purpose-built 50,000sq. ft. premises, in Belfast. This facility includes optical, electronic and mechanical workshops, a class 10,000 clean room, vacuum and electronic processing facilities.

Belfast Clean Room

Andor's superior vacuum process UltraVac™ ensures that our cameras have no vacuum failures, no leaks, no maintenance and no repumping. The UltraVac™ process takes place within a class 10,000 clean room. This means there are fewer than 10,000 particles of less than 0.5μm dimension per cubic meter. The air is fully replenished every minute and the temperature and humidity are controlled. All personnel must wear body suits, overshoes and a hat. All clothing is woven with carbon fiber to reduce static.

First in Quality

Andor runs many quality improvement programmes including some focused on its manufacturing process and yield improvement. The Company has operated a quality management system since 1998 which currently complies with the requirements of BS EN ISO9001:2000.

Special Products

At Andor we have many years experience of producing tailored solutions for our customers. We understand what our customers require and have an in-depth knowledge of their applications, which allows us to produce custom solutions to allow them to discover new ways of seeing.

Our cameras and spectrographs have been used in space, under oceans and in other extreme temperature and pressure conditions. We can build cameras to specific dimensions and properties to meet your requirements . And we can provide part or all of the solution.

With a highly experienced team of engineers and application specialists Andor can quickly assess customer needs, regardless of how specific or unusual they may be. We can then respond with an appropriate solution.
