The laboratory in the hand or integrated directly into the process is the focused idea of analyticon instruments. Fast analysis results exactly where they are needed increase efficiency. This is true for the metal processing, pharmaceutical and chemical industries, for R&D, art and archaeometry, market monitoring and also for authorities and organizations with security tasks. For more than 20 years, analyticon has been supporting companies with innovative spectrometers for mobile on-site measurements and in-process chemical analysis. Under the umbrella of the French Groupe Physitek, the company is now also positioned internationally.
