Keeping you safe High precision chemical analysis for defense & security We are global leaders Maximum reliability of materials and equipment. Dependable performance of sophis-ti cated technology under extreme condi-tions. Effective defense against immediate threats. These requirements demand precise analytics. We are a leading supplier of technical solutions and application know-how for chemical analysis. Using our instruments, you can analyze the elemental composition of all kinds of substances in any condition – quickly, reliably, and with the highest precision. You can rely on us Our offer to procurement agencies, armed forces, and the defence industry is comprehensive. With our precision instruments and our application expertise you can ... • check water for chemical contaminants down to ultra and even ultra-trace level concentrations • analyze incendiary devices, explosives, and hazardous materials in the fi eld (Counter-IED, CBRN-Defense) • determine the quality and effectiveness of pharmaceuticals and identify counterfeits • analyze oils and lubricants to ensure effi cient maintenance and availability of equipment and systems • measure ageing (corrosion) of infrastructure and material to improve preventive maintenance • monitor plating processes for the functional coating of metal ic surfaces of any kind • determine moisture in propel ants and explosives • check numerous other parameters – in the laboratory or directly in the process Find out more about the solutions we offer in the following pages. Counter IED and CBRN defense – quickly, reliably, right in the field We are a leading supplier of handheld material identifi cation systems designed for armed forces and fi rst responders. Our Mira DS Raman system is a standoff detector that al ows you to identify hundreds of explosives and hazardous materials from a safe distance – anywhere and within seconds. Mira DS is barely larger than a smartphone, weighing just 700 grams, and meeting the specifi cations of MIL STD 810G. Flexible sampling: Various sampling attachments enable fast, straightforward sample identifi cation. E.g., the Standoff Attachment allows you to identify hazardous substances and explosives from a safe distance of up to 1.5 meters. Quality control of propellants and explosives – fast, simple and reliable Also in the fi eld of quality control for propel ants and explosives, we provide complete solutions including the know-how of our application specialists. A key application here is the highly sensitive determination of moisture. With our proven solutions for Karl Fischer titration, we offer a primary method with which you can easily determine water concentrations in the ppm range – ful y automated. Our automation solutions enable high sample throughput, for example, in the determination of water content by Karl Fischer titration.

Health and safety – quality control of pharmaceuticals We have been a trusted supplier to the phar - maceutical industry, public authorities and medical services of armed forces for decades. Our expertise includes hundreds of applications that can be used to determine the identity and concentration of active ingre-dients, excipients, and contaminants. The methods used to carry out these applications are often standardized (USP, EN, ISO) and range from pH measurement, titration and ion chromatography to spectroscopic methods for real-time analysis in the fi eld. Our Mira P handheld Raman system, on the other hand, al ows you to verify counterfeits quickly and reliably in the fi eld – at the touch of a screen. Safeguarding water quality Armed forces depend on clean drinking water – always and everywhere. In addition to solutions for determining standard parameters such as calcium, magnesium, pH, chloride etc. in water, we also offer complete solutions for the highly sensitive trace analysis of toxic heavy metals (uranium, chromium, mercury, arsenic, etc.) as well as other contaminants. With our instruments for ion chromatography, voltammetry, and titration, we provide robust solutions that are easy to use and produce accurate results in minutes. We are leaders in water analysis and can offer you everything from a single source – from mobile vol - tammetric measuring instruments for heavy metal analysis to integrated, fully automated measuring stands for the complete range of critical inorganic parameters. Corrosion monitoring and other electrochemical applications Corrosion is an electrochemical process de-stroying metal ic materials and threatening technical infrastructure, equipment, and systems. We offer complete so lutions that enable you to monitor cor rosion in order to assess the condition and availability of the relevant infrastructure or systems. Battery research, the development of high-performance capacitors, and the monitoring of plating baths and baths for functional coating of surfaces (e.g. in the automotive and aerospace industries) are additional fi elds in which our electrochemical measuring ins truments are used and provide precise measurement results.
