www.CETAC.com Meet Our Scientists Leaders in Laser Ablation: The Scientific Team at Teledyne CETAC Technologies For over 25 years Teledyne CETAC Technologies has been at the forefront of advancing analytical sciences through innovative product development. During that time the company has seen continued growth, driven largely by a world class team of specialists who work closely with our engineers to bring new and innovative analytical tools to universities, businesses and government organizations all around the world. In order to further strengthen the development, sales and support of laser ablation technologies CETAC and Photon Machines joined forces back in June 2010 to offer a full range of laser products. This collaboration brought together the experience of Photon Machines’ engineering team with the sample introduction expertise of CETAC Technologies. This partnership took the obvious next step and in early 2014 Photon Machines Inc. was fully acquired by Teledyne CETAC Technologies and brought under the Teledyne banner. Teledyne Photon Machines is now a brand of Teledyne CETAC Technologies, and provides laser ablation technologies including CO2 and diode lasers; 266 nm and 213 nm solid state Nd:YAG laser systems; 193 excimer laser systems and latest generation femtosecond laser ablation systems. In addition to this, and equally significant, the merged company also brings together an incredibly experienced group of product managers, scientists and application engineers working alongside a focused and dedicated management team to support the laser ablation community. These individuals all have a significant amount of knowledge and experience to share with you, a position no other company can come close to matching. We are all here to help you so please feel free to contact any of us directly if you have any questions we could possibly help you with.
