Advanced Photometrics, Inc. Changes Its Company Name To Aspectrics, Inc.

Advanced Photometrics, Inc., a supplier of micro-infrared spectroscopy analyzers to OEMs, today announced that it has changed its company name to Aspectrics, Inc., as the company moves to launch its technologies into various chemical analysis and monitoring markets.

"We are enthusiastic about this corporate milestone," said Paul H. Salsgiver Jr., CEO of Aspectrics, Inc. "Our new company name effectively communicates our position in the market as providers of innovative chemometric analyzers at the most critical aspects of processes."

The Aspectrics technology platform is based on a novel form of Infrared spectroscopy, called Encoded Photometric Infrared Spectroscopy (EP-IR). At the heart of the EP-IR analyzer is a rotating disc onto which up to 256 concentric encoding tracks is formed. The EP-IR analyzer continuously acquires data on every optical channel in parallel to provide the most accurate intensity measurements.

"The encoding tracks of the EP-IR analyzer replace the detector elements of a conventional detector array, eliminating artifacts arising from dead or drifting detector elements," said Salsgiver. "The EP-IR analyzer effectively offers Nondispersive Infrared ruggedness with Fourier Transform Infrared performance."
